Great day in Verona with Dante and Leonardo

jonlG7266QY, Dec 2025

The tour was fantastic. Leonardo, our guide, was a delightful companion. He gave us lots of detailed information about Dante and Verona with plenty of historical context and background. You don't need to know a lot about Dante to enjoy the tour (we didn't), but we learned a great deal and became much more interested afterwards. Leonardo answered all of our questions and offered plenty of tips and recommendations for a great day in Verona. He's a charming, brilliant, engaging young man and a great storyteller! We thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

Great - Discover Dante with Leonardo in Verona

AnitaEscher, Oct 2025

We discovered Dante with Leonardo in Verona! This is already the title of a story. Walking through the streets and squares of ancient Verona with stories on every corner, about the people, architecture, the history of the city and, of course, about Dante. Leonardo knows a lot and conveys it with humor and details, he is a fantastic guide! Even the downpour that suddenly fell could not with our guide. He took advantage of the time under the arches near the old port to tell us more about the historical characters of the city. Don't miss it.

Informative and entertaining walking tour of sites associated with Dante’s time in this beautiful city. Leonardo was knowledgeable and a fun guide. Dante is one of Italy’s greatest writers with his Divine Comedy. Great for people interested in Dante’s life and work.

Dante in Verona. A divine experience.

Great tour with Leonardo. I enjoyed learning the story of Dante Alighieri in Verona. A relaxing walking tour featuring sites connected to the greatest Italian writer in history. The Divine Comedy. This city is beautiful and full of history. I’m a fan of Dante’s work and I did not know of his connection to this wonderful city. 90 minutes for a great tour at a modest price. I was the only one on the tour so it was very personalized.
