I had a fantastic virtual experience at the Circus Maximus! Our guide, Sara, was amazing, friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour really engaging. The setting was very immersive and atmospheric, bringing the history to life. We moved around to different locations to take part in various scenes, which made it interactive and fun. The kids had a great time and were completely captivated throughout. I definitely recommend this experience for families and history lovers alike!

La disponibilité de l'animatrice. Le réél des situations. Incroyable ! La découverte de ce qui aurait pu exister

Très décevant

Nicole_L, Jul 2022

Jeux de réalité virtuelle sur un mur dans le carrefour avec le site du circus Massimo à distance ! Ça aurait pu se faire dans notre chambre d’hôtel . Uniquement en anglais ou italien alors que ma petite fille n’a rien compris ! Expérience chère et peu valable .

Response from Host, Jul 2022

We are sorry that you did not appreciate, the only one guest, one of the projects that has gained many awards in terms of innovation and culture and only 5 stars. You are aware why you left 2 stars, also because we were warned by the staff on the same day of the experience that you would do it: the reason is due to YOUR mistake, you booked this experience thinking that the audio-guide was in French, although it was clearly stated in the description of the tour that the audio-guide was in Italian and English. Unfortunately, customers like you, who do not appreciate history and technology, due to their own booking error and pure revenge (your disinformation), discreet a project so appreciated nationally and internationally. Sincerely
