The 10 Best Archaeology Tours in Verona, Veneto

February 27, 2022 Etsuko Causey

So splendid was medieval Verona that its reputation alone inspired Shakespeare to set two plays here (Romeo and Juliet and The Two Gentlemen of Verona). Though its connection to the actual Capulets is tenuous at best, the so-called Juliet's House draws half a million tourists per year, many of them keen on reenacting the balcony scene. Don't miss the Roman amphitheater and the Palazzo Barberi.

Silvia took us on a great walking tour. She was very knowledgeable and let us establish the pace. We saw some great places off the beaten path which she adapted as she learned more about our interests. Her insights were wonderful and she gave us some great tips on things to do on our own.

Short but appealing guided visit designed to uncover all the secrets of the most exclusive Veronese monument and also to provide history enthusiasts with the chance to deeply experience the Roman age in the most spectular of the buildings raised in those days which in Verona is still rather well preserved. When was build such an amphytheatre? How long was it used for? How did the gladiatorial fight shows work? Were beasts and Christians used for the shows too? What happened to it in medieval times? How come is it still in relatively good conditions? When did they start to use it again for entertainment? Why is it today the biggest Roman amphytheatre in the world? These are the main questions which will find a proper answer during our visit.

Inclusions: English speaking Tourist Guide licensed in Verona

Had a confirmed tour of Verona, and no one ever showed up. Not a great start to our vacation. If it wasnt going to happen would have appreciated some kind of notice.

My wife and I found this tour was a pleasant way to familiarize ourselves with Padua. The Srovegni Chapel is a must for Renaissance art lovers. The guided tour format is ideal for understanding Giotto's work as you are limited to a 15 minute period inside the Chapel. Our guide Tiziana used this time superbly to point out each panel and the important features. Great memories!
