Verona

Churches & Cathedrals

The tour begins with a 30 minute orientation with your guide to ensure you're comfortable riding and operating a Segway. Once that's complete, your group will travel to Porta Palio, riding past the roundabout along the cycle path facing Porta Via Piccoli. Another easy cycle path leads us straight to Castelvecchio, a residence of the Della Scala family, whose internal restoration is a marvelous example of contemporary Italian architecture. Continuing on, we cross the Della Scala bridge and pause in the park next to the river to enjoy the views of the bridge and castle. Afterwards we cross Corso Castelvecchio to get onto Via Roma to reach Piazza Bra and the Arena. From the beautiful Piazza we then travel on until Giulietta’s House, in Via Cappello. Mercato Vecchio’s court, Piazza dei Signori and Arche Scaligere will follow, until Santa Anastasia and Piazza Erbe (Verona’s Roman forum). The tour begins from under the “portoni” of Corso and Porta Borsari (ancient collection point of the bishop’s tax) and returns back to this spot at the end of the day, from the Stradone Porta Palio.

The tour departs from Milan Central Station in the early morning and crosses Lombardy to reach Venice. Situated on a marshy lagoon on the Adriatic Sea, Venice is internationally famous for its waterways and scenic canals. Upon arrival in Venice, enjoy a tour of the city’s historical center, passing by Saint Mark’s Square, the Basilica, and the beautiful Bridge of Sighs. Next, enjoy some free time to explore on your own, shop for souvenirs, and snap photos for your vacation album. Continue the tour towards Verona, known for being the setting of the love story between Romeo and Juliet. Take a stroll along the banks of the River Adige, cross the Ponte Scaliero, and admire the stunning Castelvecchio, a medieval castle built in the golden age of Verona. In the early afternoon, begin the return journey back to Milan.
