Great historical landmark!

Its unbelievable that this Roman era colosium is still in regular use today! I saw it as part of the Olympic closing ceremony on TV and as luck would have it we were in the area and jumped on the tour! It's history is amazing and our tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable!

Really good!

Isabella told us a lot about the arena and its history. We looked at the arena, unfortunately no underground access, which I found disappointing. Definitely look for the yellow umbrella of the tour guide at the meeting point!!!!!!! Should be included in the description

Fab Arena tour

Fab tour with very interesting information and lovely tour guide. We started with some facts about Verona before fast track into the Arena.

Too pricey

The guide was very nice and told us several key facts but all we could have googled, price was way too expensive - we do tours a lot comparable this was too pricey
