Step back in time at Merida’s magnificent Roman theater and amphitheater on this efficient 1-hour guided tour. Operating in Spanish, local experts bring these 2,000-year-old venues to life, sharing fascinating details about the Roman social hierarchy and engineering marvels like the vomitorium (ancient crowd-control passages). The perfectly preserved theater still hosts the city’s International Classical Theater Festival – a testament to its enduring acoustics and grandeur.
I especially love this tour for its no-nonsense approach and the guides’ ability to make ancient history relevant and engaging. At £16.89, it’s a smart value considering the wealth of information and privileged access you receive.
