Itinerary

In the center of Verona, met up with your knowledgeable local guide and get ready to discover the delights of this northern Italian city. Explore the streets of Verona's historic center, taking in the churches and palaces that have helped make this town a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

After some meandering past Castelvecchio, Scaligero Bridge, and Bra Square and learning about the history of the town, make your way over to see the gem of Verona: the ancient Roman arena. Built in AD 30, the arena is very well preserved for being 2,000 years old. Learn about the history of the arena, about how it once could hold up to 30,000 people and the actions that have taken place over the years to keep it so well preserved.

Hear about how the arena not only hosts concerts from international superstars but it's also home of the very popular Verona Arena Festival, a summertime opera celebration that draws classical music lovers from all over the world.

After taking some photos of the arena, head to Juliet's House (La Casa di Giulietta), the structure that inspired Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet.'

Marion_D, Jun 2026

It was difficult to understand the tour guide who was Italian and gave the tour in English. He showed us basic historical sites with a little explanation. You could probably read up on sites to see on your own.

No show/No Notice! Bad customer

DAVID_H, Jun 2026

Guide never showed up to the walking tour. Called the office after 15 minutes of waiting, they stated the person had an emergency. It would have been nice for the office to let us know so that we didn’t have to travel to the city for nothing.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hello David, we are truly sorry for what happened and completely understand your disappointment. Unfortunately, our guide had an unexpected emergency at the very last minute, and we only became aware of the situation at the same time we informed you. We would have loved to welcome you on the following day's tour, as we offered, but we understand that this was not possible for your plans. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this caused and hope that your refund reached you as quickly as possible. We truly hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on another experience with us in the future and provide the experience you were expecting.

Travel Through the Amazing History of Verona

GaryAlfred_H, Jan 2026

We had a very good tour of the city of Verona. We had a small group of people and a very good guide. Our guide, Frank, was very knowledgeable and full of good humour. The history of Verona spans more than two thousand years and there are sites to see from every period of its history. The coliseum is in amazing condition and is a wonder you shouldn't miss. This tour is well worth the time and money, and I encourage everyone to go on this tour.
