Verona Private Walking Tour with Arena Access & Juliet’s Balcony
Best for: Travelers who want a flexible private introduction to Verona’s main sights with a walking pace and museum-style context.
This private walking tour is built for travelers who want Verona explained step by step rather than moved through on a larger schedule. It includes a local guide and entry to the ancient Roman Arena, along with a walking route that passes Piazza Bra, Piazza delle Erbe, Porta Borsari, the Balcony of Juliet, Cappelletti courtyard, and Arche Scalighere. The product also notes that the itinerary can be tailored, with optional stops such as the cathedral, artisan workshops, or Castelvecchio. Food and drinks are not included, so this works best as a focused sightseeing experience rather than a meal-based outing.

Best for: Travelers who want a guided overview of Verona’s main historic and literary sights with a simple private format.

The format is useful if you want a compact city narrative that moves from Roman history to later periods and finishes with a Shakespeare-associated stop. Lunch is excluded, so plan this as a sightseeing block rather than a combined dining experience.

Private Luxury Transfer from Verona to Riva del Garda (or vice versa)
Best for: Travelers who need a private ride between Verona and Riva del Garda and value comfort over sightseeing.
This option is not a sightseeing tour. It is a private luxury transfer between Verona and Riva del Garda in either direction, using a Mercedes minivan with leather seats, air conditioning, and WiFi. Bottled water and all fees and taxes are included, which makes the setup straightforward for travelers who want a direct ride without arranging separate transport. The itinerary notes only indicate pickup at the desired point and transfer to the desired address in Riva del Garda, so this is best viewed as a transport service rather than an activity. Choose it if your priority is comfort, privacy, and a simple end-to-end transfer.
Private transfer for direct travel between destinations
- Private door-to-door transfer format
- Air-conditioned vehicle with WiFi onboard
- Bottled water and taxes are included
