About this tour
This session climbs the Torre dei Lamberti, Verona's tallest tower, finishing at its viewpoint over the old town. You see the city through the tower's openings on the way up, built across nearly two centuries, then look out from the top over terracotta roofs, the Arena and the river's curve. It is a short session built around one of the best views in Verona.
We start with a sound check partway up, since the stairwell can be noisy. I move to the viewpoint for the second stop, and this one leans more visual than talkative, though I answer questions as they come. A short note on the tower's construction follows by message afterwards.
It suits anyone who wants a proper view over the old town. It also works well booked toward the end of the day, as the light softens.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included

- Travel to the city
