    So-So experience; so-so Viator

    Tom_D, Mar 2023
    Interesting to see what have been there at Circo Maximo. Image quality of the VR is poor and below modern standards. Also, there are scenes where the view is limited to one position. If you look the wrong direction, no VR to see. Always call staff on site, there are helpful. Watch out in case you wear glasses. The VR viewers don't have the rubber skin protectors anymore. This causes the VR viewer to touch your own glasses. You don't want your own stuff being scratched. Staff offers skin protectors, not glasses protectors. There is no address provided by Viator, so help yourself to find where to go to on the huge site.

    Scam

    No one to get the ticket or to the RV point. Just a huge closed inaccessible construction site with barriers.

    Nous avons payé 189€ pour 2 adultes et 3 enfants. En arrivant sur le site on s aperçoit que sur nos billets il est noté 11 par enfant et 13€ par adulte soit 59€! C est inadmissible! Nous souhaitons être remboursé de la différence!

    Petit expérience historique en famille

    un flacon interessante de se rendre compte comment cela se passait à l'époque. interessant aussi pour les enfants.

    Ça ne vaut vraiment pas le déplacement

    Eric_Z, Oct 2024
    Produits de piètre qualité, les employés parlent beaucoup, mais ne s’occupe pas de vous, Il nous emmènerait de voleurs….

    Visite inoubliable

    Réservation nickel. Visite du site très bien organisée et nous a permis de nous plonger dans le passé. A ne pas rater !

    Immersion dans l'antiquité

    Les ruines sont une chose, surtout lorsqu'il ne reste pas grand chose, mais cette expérience en est une autre. Soudain vous avez une vision très concrète du génie de la Rome antique.

    Niente di che

    Martina_F, Oct 2021
    Tecnologia 3 D scarsa e arretrata e tour troppo breve! L’idea in se è carina però ci si aspetta molto di più!

    Response from Host, Oct 2021

    Gentilissima Martina, Grazie per condividere il Suo punto di vista con altri potenziali clienti. La tecnologia adottata è stata realizzata da un team composto da archeologi, ingenieri e grafici del tridimensionale e accolta nel ventaglio dei progetti di Roma Capitale. Mi spiace sapere che l'abbia ritenuta così scarsa da meritare un solo punto su cinque. Non ci sono altre possibilità belle come questa che mostrano il circo massimo esatamente come era. Come avròà visto non rimane nulla del suo spendore purtroppo. Riporteremo con piacere questo suggerimento aspettandoci un miglioramento. Saluti,
