Great experience with an archaeologist as a guide! Detailed 1h30 visit with a very clear explanation. Fabulous virtual reality experience. I discovered a monument that I had never seen before. An immense construction that was not completed and that still left an important testimony of Roman architecture and painting. There is always something to discover and learn. I didn't take photos because the interior was dark and it's enough for me to have in my mind those heights and magnificence that we discovered later with the viewer. I wish it had never ended!
It’s a bit damp and dark inside the Domus Aurea. It didn’t bother us, but prospective visitors should be aware of that. Our guide was engaging and thorough. The history of the Domus Aurea is quite interesting and reminds the visitor that self-aggrandizing rulers are not a new thing.
A wonderful experience. Our guide was clearly an expert and highlighted key features of this amazing building. A must-see experience in Rome.
Claudia was fabulous so informative and kind to call as we could not find meeting spot! Thank you it was fabulous
Our actual tour guide was terrific but the meeting point process was chaotic. The Viator rep assigned to meet our group was late and extremely inefficient in passing out the individual tickets. As a consequence we were late for our 10 am tour and were rushed to keep within our 1.5 hour tour window.
Great tour and wonderful guide. We will do it again next year! The virtual reality headset was a fantastic addition to understanding what the palace was!
Excellent guide. Stunning place, its historical, archaeological and sensory content with virtual experience, that immerse you in an imperial Rome
Fantastic experience, the guide was very prepared, explained everything with great care. I highly recommend it! Thank you!
Had an amazing time with the agency The guide was amazing aswell It was an amazing experience ☺️☺️ I recommend greatly of this
This is a simple resale of the tickets taken on the official website. We pay exactly 3 times more for a “visit” that is not made by the organist dealer but by the official guides of the Domus Aurea (while we would have liked this 39€ difference contributes to the maintenance of this monument, rather than to fraudulent organizations). Normally, this is an illegal practice and the Italian authorities should be tougher with its illicit resales.
