- Explore two underground sites in just one day
- Gain deeper insight than on standard tours—archaeologists lead the way
- Skip the crowds for an intimate, small-group experience

This was a very interesting tour, looking at some Roman archaeological sites beneath the city with actual scientists who worked on the projects. It’s a great way to experience more about the history of Verona.

Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so happy that you enjoyed exploring Verona’s Roman underground and meeting the archaeologists who have actually worked on these sites. Sharing our research and bringing Verona’s history to life is what we love most. Thank you for joining us!
The tour takes you to two underground sites in the city where you can see excavated Roman ruins. Our guide was an archaeologist who actually worked on one of the sites so was extremely well qualified and knowledgeable about both the sites and all the relevant history in general, plus a delightful person! This tour was fascinating and absolutely well worth booking.

The tour of underground Verona presented a wealth of information about the archeological structures underneath modern constructions revealing the complex layering of the barbaric, medieval, & Renaissance periods. Me & my partner had learned from Maria the most surprising answers to the perplexity of archeological findings.

Lots of information about the archeological history of Verona, but not a lot to see. Guides are actual architects. Bus
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you appreciated the archaeological information about Verona. Just a small clarification: the guides are archaeologists who worked on the excavations and on the discoveries presented during the tour. Thank you for visiting!
Great tour! Just 3 people in the group I was in, so we were able to take our time and ask many questions. The guide is a retired architect who has worked at the sites and knows a lot about the methods and history. She speaks English well and gave in depth and interesting explanations of the architectural sites in verona.

Tour guides were the archeologists that dug the sites. They are very knowledgeable. Able to see Roman and medieval sites up close.
Response from Host, May 2026
We’re really glad you appreciated the experience!
This was one of the most interesting and engaging tours I've ever done. It was led by two retired archaeologists, who excavated one of the sites we visited. They were so enthusiastic and keen to share their experiences. They also explained clearly, and using illustrations, what the ruins/sites told us about the history of the city and its people. Plus, happily pointed out areas of interest as we walked between the two sites. Thank you both for a fascinating tour.
