“Awesome visit in bright weather. Verona is a wonderful city that Silvia knows at her fingertips. It is an Italian city that deserves to be discovered. Certainly smaller than Florence, Pisa or Milan, but in terms of beauty, it must not jealous them. A guided tour with Silvia of the city of Verona is really an added value. Huge thanks to her.Auto-translated”
