My wife and I are professors, and just finished teaching a semester in Rome. Unfortunately, we discovered this place after the students had already left! This would have been a superb way to explain what ancient Roman life was like, and how it became buried under the present city! Next time, this will be the first thing the students see!... More

This is another "must see" if you are interested in ancient history and archeology. The best presentation (on this subject) i have ever seen in my life. Considering my hometown i have some museum experience.. The staff is also very nice people (young ones at the desk and the staff inside). Maybe the call center wont pick up your phone... More

I travel to many places and I found this to be one of my favorite experiences in Rome. The brilliant showcasing of actual ruins beneath you set to a reconstruction through visual projection is fabulous. There is an incredible amount of information conveyed in this hour and a half tour. This period in history comes alive and I am now... More

We went with our chidren (8 and 10) who loved it because it helps them to visualise how Rome must have looked in Roman times. There's a lot to see, and i really thought it a bargain for such a show.

Make sure you book a tour here! The see through floor allows you to see the actual archeology and how they have used the information to piece together the story of this site. Well worth the money.

What a creative way of displaying ruins. You move throughout the villa foundations, following an audio-visual presentation that shows you how the villa would have appeared in its heyday. It's really fantastic!If you are new to Roman ruins, this site is probably one of the most informative, and I would suggest it as a first stop to help you understand... More

These ruins were beautifully displayed in a museum quality atmosphere. It was a pleasure to be on the tour as it was a small group. Don't go if you are clautrophophic....it takes a minute to get used to the sensation of walking on see through floors.

All we can say is the facts speak for themselves. This is an extremely informative tour of what did happen and just as interesting, what may have happened. Don't miss it

This is a very interesting visit well presented with a group of 15 persons maximum. The black mark is the need to reserve solely by phone (the tours are often sold out in advance).No online bookings,and the people at reception are of no help.That said once in there it is 1h30 of agreeable time travel back in ancient Rome (with...
