Domus Aurea Tour

Sudip_G, May 2026

It was a good experience and something different. Tour guide could have been better. Not very enthusiastic could use more story telling. Virtual reality was very good. Recommend.

Thank you for your review, we always do our best to make our customers' experiences wonderful, we're glad you enjoyed it!

The VR Was Great

Laurie_K, Apr 2026

It's cold inside; bring a sweater. The structure is interesting in its size, scope and history. But the corridors look much the same as each other, and pedantic descriptions of the frescoes and construction of the rooms may feel tedious. The VR portion gave an awesome perspective. I would have appreciated a tour half an hour shorter than it was.

Great tour not to be missed

Hugh_C, Mar 2026

The tour was great and our guide really knew her stuff. The VR was very interesting. Overall a great experience not to be missed

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for your review. We always strive to offer a wonderful experience and quality service. In particular, the virtual reality experience of the Domus Aurea is undoubtedly one of the most immersive experiences you can find while visiting Ancient Rome. We hope to welcome you for another of the many experiences available in the Eternal City!

Well worth a visit!

Less popular than many of other attractions in the area so it was a nice quiet and peaceful break from the crowds. Don’t expect to see a lot of refined artwork but it really helps you understand the sheer size of the ancient Roman structures. Fascinating piece of history- gives context of the construction of the colosseum. Interactive vr was short but cool. Chilly inside so don’t forget a sweater or jacket.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for your kind words; this guided tour is indeed one of the most unique you'll find in Rome. It truly gives you a glimpse into how the ancient Romans conceived the entire archaeological area of the Colosseum and the ancient Roman houses. We're so happy you enjoyed the tour and hope you'll book another experience to share with us in the future!

Fascinating and...

Fascinating and informative guide through the history of the building/ruin enhanced by the realistic VR experience. Very enjoyable

Domus is remarkable

Donald_B, Nov 2025

The Domus is remarkable and the virtual reality experience was amazing. The tour should appeal to those with a deep interest in ancient Rome. The tours are limited and groups are all guided.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

An absolutely amazing experience! The tour was informative and interesting...the virtual reality portion was fabulous!

Fascinating!

Barbara_A, May 2025

This amazing facility would be impossible to understand without a knowledgeable guide like Sara. She made it come to life.

Merece ser visto. Para amantes de la historia

Stella_M, Feb 2025

Excelente. Solo es un pequeño espacio de lo que fue la Domo. Para transportarse en el tiempo solo faltaría que la realidad virtual sea más compleja, más diseñada.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you for your review, we are happy that you enjoyed this experience and we hope to see you soon!
