Great tour, not to be missed! - Best Tour! The four of us thoroughly enjoyed this informative and fun tour. Our tour guide, Frank, shared the interesting history of Verona and beyond while entertaining us and engaging with everyone on the tour. Of the many tours we took during our 3+ week trip to Italy, this was definitely one of the best. Frank personalized the experience much more than most guides do, which made it special and very memorable. Yay Frank! Thank you!

Very good tour and worthwhile although a bit expensive - Be patient when the area is busy. Check where you are meeting. Otherwise well worth missing the queue

If one would like a very... - If one would like a very very basic cursory understanding of Roman amphitheaters and gladiators, then this tour should be sufficient, especially if one has limited knowledge or background in the subject. However, if you've traveled around Italy a bit and seen the Coliseum and other theaters and amphitheaters, then this will be quite basic and frankly boring, without any real "new" or interesting information, nor would you see any areas of the Arena that you would not see with general admission. The only real benefit is skipping the line. The guide was quite nice and knowledgeable, but I don't think it was worth the price.
