Great tour with the perfect length

Lara

, Aug 2021

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!

Exceptional Arena Visit

After a very long visit to the Collessum in Rome, we were so pleased with the duration of the tour and the excellent presentation by our guide, Irena. The guided tour was fun and informative.

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!!

Der tour guide war sehr freundlich und hat auf jeden gewartet. Es kam sogar eine SMS, nachdem ich mich etwas verspätet habe. Man merkte, dass er für seinen Job lebt und erzählte alles mit sehr viel Liebe. Für Fragen war er jederzeit offen. Jederzeit wieder!
