You know those 3d recreation animations they do on TV??? This is the same thing but projected on real ruins, while you're walking over them. What everyone else said - helps to put it in persoective abd appreciate how ancient Romans lived... Well, the wealthy ones at least!

Loved that the tour size is so limited. Means everyone actually gets a good vantage point throughout the tour. When dim people shuffle forward and stand in the view of everybody else, as is apt to happen on guided tours, the tour guides gently guide them back out of the way. I really appreciated that. The tour itself is fantastically... More

You have to book a little ahead to go to this tour, and it takes a full hour-and-a-half, but it is extremely good. You walk on glass above the excavations, and it's pretty high-tech automated tour (with a guide who doesn't have to do a great deal - most of it is completely automated). Hard to explain, but it's fantastic:... More

We might have been unlucky, but we felt we were being rushed through our visit to Le Domus Romane. Perhaps it was because there were 16 people in our group (I think a better maximum number would be around 12), but we found that the recorded descriptions and highlighting of the different sections had often started before all the group...

I found this museum as part of a family Rome tour book. It was a suggestion on how to help children envision how the Romans lived. My 8 year old daughter loved this tour. It is an active excavation site that is enhanced by lights, movies and 3D technology. The tour is very well layed out, the technology is amazing,... More

Went here on the basis of TA reviews (didn't know about it previously). Thoroughly enjoyed the visit which lasted an hour and a half in total. The tour was cleverly put together, entertaining, interesting, educational, and cool in the summer heat. The staff were friendly and helpful. Worth booking as we turned up at 1pm and next available tour in... More

Booked in advance as suggested by Trip Advisor. Lots of fun walking over and learning about what might have been in the past; the superimpositions via virtual media was excellent; the tour was abour 1 1\2 hours.

Found this attraction on Trip Advisor. Having been to Rome in 2011, we hit most of the big sights and we were looking for something a little different. This hit the mark. A unique, very well done multimedia experience highliting a roman ruin beneath the city streets. The tour was offered in english and it was very well done. Walking... More

We initially did not plan to visit Le Domus Romane but we are so glad that we did! This is the way that all Archeological sites should be operated and it gave us fantastic insight into what life at the height of the Roman Empire must have been like. Can be a bit hard to find as it is situated... More

This is so worth a visit - we loved it. It brought history to life with a respectful reconstruction of a senator's house, complete with guided tour that used modern day technology to fill in the gaps and show the house as it would have been in its heyday. You do have to book in advance - our concierge said... More
