Verona · ARENA DI VERONA & OPERA
13 reviewed
A Roman amphitheatre two thousand years old still fills for opera on summer nights. These are the best ways to experience the Arena: daytime access tours through the tiers, guided visits paired with the old town, and tickets for the festival under the stars. Prices, what each includes and where you will be sitting come with every option.
Skip the Verona Arena line with a licensed guide for a 45-minute story tour of Roman architecture, gladiators, and opera history.
“Our guide was very nice and very informative. The tour was as expected and I thought it was a good value for what we paid. There was nothing exceptional, but it was a good tour and I would not hesitate to recommend it to someone visiting the Verona Arena.”

“What a beautiful experience. Verona is simply breathtaking. Our tour guide presented Verona’s story from the Roman times to the Austrian times, in a way that was easily digestible and entertaining. The pacing of the tour was also just right. After visiting dozens of countries, this was one of my favorite walking tours. Highly recommended.”

“Fabio has been the best tour guide that we have ever had (and we always do a tour when we visit a new city). We did his Hidden Gems walking tour on the afternoon that we arrived to Verona and his Arena tour the next morning - both tours provide completely different information and are perfect paired together. Doing the walking tour first is also a great way to understand the city quickly and see places / get recommendations. A must if you’re in Verona!”
