Itinerary

  • Domus Aurea

Multimedia installations enhance the immersive reality and video-based project. During your trip you can watch a “sensory” projection in the entrance hall and enjoy a virtual reality experience in the Golden Vault Room. THE TEMPORARY EXHIBITION "RAFFAELLO AND THE INVENTION OF THE GROTTESCHE" from 23 June 2021 to 7 January 2022 is offered free of charge.

It is a great experience,...

Published on Dec, 2024

It is a great experience, nobody should miss it. Gabriel was a superb guide, very knowledgable and entertaining

Great Roman history lesson

Published on Dec, 2024

Much more than expected. Really clear explanations on what we were looking it and where everything was. I would highly recommend taking a tour with your company.

Fascinating, gigantic, incredible

Published on Nov, 2024

The Domus Aurea is an amazing survivor from the past. The size is mind-boggling and the innovative technology it housed is hard to believe. The tour was very informative, the guide very knowledgeable. The VR experience was quite moving. You really do experience one room of the Domus as it was. It brought tears to my eyes.

Everything was so nice...

Published on Apr, 2024

Everything was so nice about this tour - Viator was amazing! I had been running around for weeks before and was unsure if I would be able to obtain tickets yet Viator handled everything and the tour was an amazing experience. Highly recommend!

Excellent experience of architectural and historical layers of a fascinating architectural wonder

Published on Apr, 2024

The knowledgeable guide, graphic and digital representations of the Domus were excellent in explaining the historical context, historical layers, rediscovery of the Domus in the 16th century, and in subsequent centuries reinterpretation, preservation, and transformation.
