Disabled access

The majority of our tours involve a certain amount of walking, including a short walk from the coach stop to the town, attraction or venue you're visiting. If you are bringing a wheelchair, please let us know at the time of booking so that appropriate arrangements can be made.

Itinerary changes

Occasionally, for operational reasons, we may have to change the order of the excursions on your holiday. The final day-by-day itinerary will be confirmed on your Final Travel Documents, which you will receive approximately three weeks prior to your departure.

Combining hotel transfers

We sometimes need to combine transfers to and from your hotel. We always try to keep any wait to a minimum, but you may be asked to wait at the airport for up to an hour, while other incoming flights arrive, before the transfer to your hotel. Similarly, we may need to transfer you back to the airport up to three hours before your flight home departs.

Special requirements

If you have notified us of any special requirements, please check that they have been noted and acknowledged. This is especially important with any dietary needs you may have.

Hotel transfer times

The transfer time from the airport to your hotel is approximately 30 minutes from Verona and two hours from Venice.

Your Operas - The 98th Verona Opera Festival

Your break includes a night at the opera to experience one of the great operatic works of all time performed by some of the world’s most talented artists. The opera you will see will vary depending on the departure date you choose.

Aida (22nd July departures)Giuseppe Verdi’s vast, sweeping tale of doomed love is set against the background of ancient Egypt, with the soldier/hero Radames the object of affection for slave-girl Aida and princess Amneris. It's Verona’s signature opera, and is always performed at the Festival.

Turandot (24th June departures)With a production created by the great Franco Zeffirelli, which makes use of the vast stage to recreate the grandeur of Imperial China, Giacomo Puccini’s final opera (actually completed after his death) is a sweeping tale of love and cruelty set against the glittering court of the Chinese emperor in ancient Peking, and is perhaps most famous for the aria Nessum Dorma.

Nabucco (2nd September departures)Verdi’s magisterial Biblical epic is set against the siege of Jerusalem by the Babylonian King, Nabucco (better known as Nebuchadnezzar). It has a plot that takes in the great themes of love, jealousy, betrayal and redemption, and is famed for its sacred aria, Va Pensiero - a lament for a lost homeland sung by the Hebrew slaves.
