Fabio really knows this city and you can tell. His tour was really interesting and informative and really enlightening; you realise you're somewhere steeped in history and that Verona has had many lives in the past. There is so much in plain sight that you miss, until you are taught where to look. Fabio also gave me a few local tips as to where to eat, get good views of the city, and was good company. An enjoyable part of my trip I would recommend to anyone.
