“Overall satisfied 8 out of 10. First part is relatively not exciting, just some walls from the ruins. Audioguide was informative, but not much to see. Second area (VIP access) across the street was definitely worth it. Exclusive underground with lots of details and different areas to explore. Would recommend if you have 1 hour to spend.”

The tour was walk around the grounds for 30 mins before the stadium then basically into the briefing room watch a 20 second video then go in the dressing rooms, about 2 mins in each , into the corporate seats and finished . They slid open the doors to the walk out tunnel only 30cm so you had to peak through and you couldn’t go in there. We couldn't see really. We were stood around for ages in common areas but then we were rushed through the bits we wanted to see. it was really disorganised. We…”
