It Is Not Quiet Excited As I Expected

Rotanak_O, Dec 2025

It was okay overall. The graphics weren’t what I used to see with another VR in Milan Duomo, and there was a lot of flickering on the screen. However, the story and description were interesting.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the story and descriptions interesting, but we’re sorry the visual quality didn’t meet your expectations and that you experienced flickering. That’s not the experience we want to deliver, so your note is really helpful. If you’re open to it, please reach out to us with the date/time of your visit (and which headset you used, if you know it) so we can check the device and make sure this doesn’t happen again. Thanks again for visiting, and we hope we’ll have the chance to welcome you back for an improved experience.

Great for kids to learn...

Odiel_C, Oct 2025

Great for kids to learn about the colosseum before visiting inside! We didn’t get to do this at the colosseum because there were fears it would rain, so it ended up being a bit different to what we expected but it was ok!

See the Colloseum the way it used to be!

Linda_S, May 2025

It was only my second time using Virtual Reality. I really enjoyed seeing what the Colloseum looked like originally. I was able to tour it as it was years ago. I thought it was fun and educational.

Response from Host, May 2025

Dear Customer, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your experience with the Virtual Reality tour of the Colosseum. It’s wonderful that even though it was only your second time using VR, you found it both fun and educational — that’s exactly what we hope to offer: an engaging and immersive way to step back in time and truly understand the history of this incredible monument. We hope to welcome you again soon for another journey into the past! Best regards, Ancient and recent

Takes you back in time

Aisha_E, Jul 2023

Pretty cool experience! The VR so just enough to give a glimpse of all that occurred. I felt as if I was walking back in time!

Very nice guides. History...

Sabine_G, Feb 2022

Very nice guides. History of Colosseum and it’s exterior well brought to life with 360 degrees view. Could be slightly longer and battle in the arena bit more lively . Overall very good experience, thanks!

Genial

Bea_C, Mar 2026

Nos ha encantado y es genial como previo a visitar el Coliseo. Muy buena organización, guía muy amable.

Immersion the history

DaianeElisa_O, Dec 2025

It's not an entrance ticket to the Coliseum, just an eimersais experience with the glasses in front of the monument. Very interesting. But when I bought I found that came along with the ticket to the entrance. Should be more explained.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Obrigado pelo seu feedback e por ter partilhado a sua experiência. Ficamos felizes em saber que achou a experiência de imersão com os óculos interessante. Gostaríamos de esclarecer que esta atividade consiste exclusivamente numa experiência de realidade virtual realizada em frente ao monumento e não inclui o ingresso para a entrada no Coliseu, conforme indicado na descrição do produto. Ainda assim, agradecemos a sua observação: o seu comentário é muito útil e será levado em consideração para tornar a explicação ainda mais clara para futuros visitantes. Esperamos recebê-lo novamente em Roma para outra experiência conosco. Ancient and Recent

Amazing!!

pups_2, Jun 2025

All right. Recommended 100% to everyone!!! I have seen Colosseum like 2000 years ago, I seem to have traveled to the past!!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

¡Muchísimas gracias! Me alegra de corazón saber que lo disfrutaste tanto. Ha sido un placer tenerte como invitada. ¡Y qué bonito lo que dices! Si sentiste que viajaste al pasado… entonces la magia del Coliseo hizo su efecto. 😊 ¡Un abrazo fuerte y gracias por tu energía tan positiva!

Esperienza adatta anche a bambini pre scuola. Guida seria e preparata

Paola_C, May 2022

Abbiamo fatto la visita in famiglia, con un ragazzo di 13 anni e un bimbo di 5. Cristina, alla nostra guida, è stata estremamente gentile e disponibile, soprattutto coi ragazzi. Era molto preparata e attenta alle esigenze di tutti senza mai spazientirsi. Consiglio quest'esperienza a tutti, anche per fermarsi un po' dopo tanto camminare in città.
