Arena of Verona - Arena to visit, I believe that on the first Sunday of each month the visit is free. A place that takes us back to the times of ancient Rome. I recommend a visit.

Fantastic and educational trip with Frank. - Exciting experience with the fantastic guide Frank, who very knowledgeable told about the city's beautiful arena. Frank handled the group's various needs according to the book, and answered various questions related to the arena's long history. Normally my son and I are not into guided tours, but this was a really good experience. And when we met him sitting in a packed restaurant, he also helped us get a table. We would like to say thank you for a good tour.

Exit to Verona Medieval - MEDIEVAL VERONA The activity carried out was very interesting. We started from the Castelvecchio bridge and arrived in Santa Maria Antica. We've come a long way from: Stal delle Vecie, Piazzetta Sgarzerie, Piazza Erbe, Domus Mercatorium, the Adige coast, Piazza dei Signori, Scaliger Palaces and for the Scaliger Arks. The guide was not a great one, it did not involve us for the duration of the trip but at least it explained exactly the whole story behind each monument visited. All in all it was a good outing, it is a must for a Veronese! As an exit it is also excellent without a guide, especially in Castelvecchio where there are many information signs (also in English) for any visitor.
