Informative tour

The experience was educational however I would not recommend going if you’re tired as it was easy to fall asleep

Sadly it was a disappointing experience and not worth the money!

I’m sorry to write a disappointing review. I read the reviews before we went and was really looking forward to it. This was definitely not worth the money. It was small and I’m sorry to say it was really boring. The cinema at the end was ok, but could have been better. The interactive, visuals etc felt very out of date or cheaply done - I have been to a few immersive shows, and this wasn’t any where near the same. There was a hand written note to say the cinema was this way! The staff also looked bored! And seemed irritated when I asked a question.

Good Intro to Rome

This was a good one hour no-frills overview of Rome. We scheduled it on our first day here to get the lay of the land. Found the historical movie during the second half of the experience most useful.

Great start to Rome

Great history of Rome, great 3d videos. I would definitely recommend go start here before going to see the historical sites of Rome.

Must go in Rome

It should be the first visit to the city, it is an incredible experience! I can't recommend enough! They make mirror and light games to rebuild thousands of years old monuments.

Informative

Actually informative to see before or after visiting the roman forum. Since so few structures remaining, the visuals help give you context as to what those 3 remaining columns used to be connected to.

Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Welcome to Rome. From the informative headphone-guided tour to the incredible small cinema experience with the immersive 3D-style presentation of Rome’s history, it completely exceeded our expectations. Me and my 13-year-old son were fascinated from start to finish — highly recommend to anyone visiting Rome!
