A great piece of history brought to life - Our daughter says 9 out of 10 points. The guide Francesco ‘Franc’ did a great job explaining everything, it was fun listening to him. He is a very lively storyteller with a lot of knowledge about architecture, everyday life and history. Our daughter particularly enjoyed the acoustic experiments in the Arena 😊.

Very informative tour - Very informative tour but a little expensive considering it wasn't very long. Although, I'm not sure how expensive entrance tickets on their own are
