This is just the basic tour you can buy yourself. Unfortunately, the public tickets were sold out so we had to buy through a reseller. The actual tour itself is incredible but the VR is included on the public tour as well. It was also very difficult to find the ticket seller and the time of the tour changed with no other options.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the Domus Aurea experience itself. We’re sorry that the meeting point was difficult to find and that your tour time had to be changed. Occasionally, schedule adjustments are necessary due to operational requirements, and we always do our best to inform our guests as early as possible. Regarding the tickets, public availability can sell out quickly, so we secure access through our allocated inventory to ensure our guests can still visit. We appreciate your comments, as they help us improve our communication and meeting point instructions. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again on another tour.
