Reviews for Domus Aurea Tour, The Golden House Of Nero
Privileged few to do this tour.

This was a very special tour.
I had wanted to visit this site ever since it was open. After confusion with changing start times and re shuffling of tickets we eventually got on the tour. It did not disappoint.
Domus Aurea - so much more than you expect!

Our tour with Valentina was just fantastic. The immensity of Nero's monument and palace to himself is hard to fathom. It was great to see a part of Rome than many are not aware of. Other guides told us we did well to see the site. I believe it is only available to guided groups.
The excavations are remarkable and the in-tact frescos are something to behold. The VR presentation was so great. This tech can reshape tour experiences in a huge way, Valentina's knowledge, like other Context guides, we superlative and a real joy to be with.
Best way to relive history

Seeing the virtual relaity recreation of the palace and surrounding area was one of a kind! It was a great beginning to our Rome excursions because it gave context and history that helped with the rest of our trip! Stu was the best guide!!
Domus Disappointed

Guide did not speak English, as I requested.
There was no virtual reality, as I was promised.
Tour started 30 minutes late.
Excellent instructions and assistance to a unique site.

Excellent guide at the Domus for our tour on 20 April in am, and the site was very impressive. The instructions for meeting at Cafe across the street from the park were clear, and it was particularly excellent to include the small map of exact spot, especially in that area, which many tours don't do. Our other guide to meet us at that cafe was late, and when I called your number, we got immediate help, so that was excellent as well.
