A working coliseum!

This short but informative tour was really great! Our guide was engaging and provided some great information about the history of the coliseum, construction, and how it is used today.

Verona Arena guided tour

This was a great introduction to this incredible arena. I liked that we could wander around after the tour finished. I walked to the seat where I would be sitting the next evening for an opera so I could find it easily on the night!

Enjoyable and informative

Our guide was very entertaining and knew a lot about the history of the arena. Without a guide we would not have understood what we were looking at. There is no real signage.
