A 9-hour day trip from Padua pairing Verona with Garda Lake. Walk Verona's old center first, then continue to the lake shore before the return to Padua.
This full day trip from Padua packs a guided walk through Verona and a lakeside afternoon in Lazise on Lake Garda into one outing. Lovivo Tour Experience runs it with a local tour leader who stays with the group for the whole nine hours, and transport round trip from the departure point is included in the options you select.
The Verona half starts in Piazza Bra, beside the Arena, then threads through Via Mazzini to Juliet's House, Piazza delle Erbe, Piazza dei Signori, Porta Borsari and the Arche Scaligere, ending at the Ponte di Pietra. There is an optional funicular ride up to the San Pietro hill for a view over the city, at your own choice. After a lunch stop, the group drives on to Lazise, a village with medieval walls, a castle, old gates and narrow lanes, where the walk lasts around two hours and finishes with a stop by the lake.
It suits travellers who want both a city and a lake in a single day. The cap is eight travellers per departure, so the group stays small, and reviewers have praised the guides' knowledge and their patience with older participants. It is not a deep-dive museum day, though: entries such as the Arena interior and Casa di Giulietta are seen from outside unless you buy tickets yourself.
Nine hours is a long day on your feet, with two walking tours and travel in between, so a little preparation goes a long way.
Common issues. The day is long, nine hours door to door, and mostly walking, which may tire some travellers even with a considerate guide. Entry to the Arena and Casa di Giulietta is not included, nor is lunch, so the headline tour is mostly an outside experience of Verona's sights. The tour is not wheelchair accessible. It also requires a minimum number of travellers to run; if that minimum is not met you will be offered a different date or a full refund, and cancellations within 24 hours of the start time get no refund.
The price covers the walking tours of Verona and Lazise, a lakefront stop, a local tour leader from the agency, roundtrip transportation from the departure point in the options you select, and insurance and technical organisation from a certified travel agency. Lunch is not included, and neither are entrance fees for the Arena or Casa di Giulietta.
Yes, if you want to go inside. The itinerary lists admission for both as not included, so the standard visit is from outside. Everything else on the walking route, including Piazza Bra, the Ponte di Pietra and Lazise, is free to enter.
The tour lasts nine hours. It covers a walking tour of Verona first, then a lunch stop, then transfer to Lazise on Lake Garda for about two hours in the village and a stop by the lake before the return journey.
Roundtrip transportation to the place of departure is included in the options you select. One reviewer found their hotel was on the pickup list and collection was punctual. Check the booking page for the departure and pickup options that apply to your booking.
Pushchairs are fine, infant seats are available and service animals are allowed, so families with babies can join. Most travellers can participate. It is not wheelchair accessible, however, and the day involves a lot of walking across two towns.
Cancel at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window there is no refund and changes are not accepted, with cut-off times based on local time. If the tour is cancelled because the minimum number of travellers is not met, you get a different date or a full refund.
