The guide will be in front of the entrance of the amphitheater (above the stairs) holding a yellow umbrella.

This activity will end right where it started.
Meet your guide and small group of up to 16 people at Verona Arena, then use your prepaid tickets to skip the line and enjoy priority access. Once inside, follow your guide on the grand amphitheater, admiring its striking marble façade, traditional tiered seating, and vast central stage.

Along the way, hear how the amphitheater was built in the 1st century AD and survived an earthquake in the 12th century; discover more about life in ancient Rome; and learn how the amphitheater is still used today, hosting the annual Verona Opera Festival each summer.

The guide was really friendly and outgoing, her English was pretty good, too. We could ask questions ourselves and she had an answer to all of them. Despite that the information given wasn't too embedded in a long-winded review of the arena and Italian's history but very compact and interesting without overchallenging anyone. Although I was by myself I made friends easily and everyone was in a really good mood. Of course we also didn't have to queue for anything because our guide was getting the entrance tickets for everyone in a heartbeat (those tickets are included in the tour fee though). Would totally recommend!

The Arean in no Rome!!!
Kim P
, Oct 2018
Our Tour Guide was Irene and she was great, she gave us plenty of information about the history of the Arena and it's various uses over the centuries. However, the Arena itself was a bit of a disappointment as there just wasn't that much to see. it may have been due to the timing of our visit as they were busy putting seating away for next summers Opera Season. However if you go along expecting another Rome you will be disappointed. Overall we did not feel this trip was value for money as the whole thing lasted only 30 minutes. That said, we learnt a lot more from Irene than we would have done if we had gone round on our own. Maybe next time a visit when the Opera is on would be a better experience.

This was a fabulous tour with a knowledgeable but not overbearing guide who was friendly from the outset and had to navigate the tour round some terrible weather. She allowed us to drink in the atmosphere of the Arena and provided us with some interesting facts and stories about this fabulous piece of Roman history. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone.

This was great! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the arena, and passionate about her home town. She had a folder of photos and diagrams of the arena, and the area. And we were really lucky to be there on the afternoon that they were setting up for the Wind Music Awards, so we caught almost all of sound check - Italian Pop Stars everywhere and a free concert!! It was great to see the arena actually being used, by a young audience - culture never ends!!
