Really loved this tour, the guide was excellent, she told us so much history and answered all the questions asked in great detail , I much prefer to have a guide than an audio tour, well worth the money

Frank was the perfect guide, who was very knowledgeable about the arena and the area outside. Frank explained very everything very well and fully with enthusiasm. we enjoyed the tour very much and would encourage other visitors to book.

Full description

Save precious time and skip the long lines to enter the grand amphitheater of the Verona Arena, one of the most popular attractions in the city and one of the best-preserved monuments from the Roman Empire.

Look beyond the iconic pink marble façade of the monument on Piazza Bra and hear stories about the gladiators of the Roman Republic. Learn about the famous operas that have been performed at the arena over many years.

Built in the 1st century AD from pink-tinged marble, the great theater survived an earthquake in the 12th century and is still the city's favorite concert venue for operas. Listen to little known stories that reveal facts normally concealed in the mighty stonework.
