The movie was very good…it provided a thorough history of the city of Rome. They showed images of many buildings before they became ruins
A good overview of the history of Rome
Jennifer_c, Apr 2024
Really informative and a great introduction to Rome if you're interested in the history.
Very cleverly compiled and presented with holograms, reconstructing buildings and landscapes, and engaging commentary.
Good overview
Srinivas_R, Apr 2024
Good overview of the origin of Rome as a city. The individual presentations were interesting though would have been better with VR technology.
Interesting film
John_S, Apr 2024
Very informative film and smaller recreations of the famous sites. A little expensive for what it is.
Interesting and factual
Richard_K, Apr 2024
It was interesting. Very factual. Did it after being in Rome a few days and seeing many of the sights but this added detail. For the money, it was worth an hour
Fantastic
Edward_P, Apr 2024
Absolutely fantastic. Wish we’d been able to revisit at the end of our trip as well as the beginning. Would be my no 1 recommendation to anyone visiting Rome, whether for the first time or the tenth.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you very much Edward,
Welcome To Rome really allows you to pick up the pieces of Rome's thousand-year history back together and fully understand its evolution.
We hope to see you soon in Rome!
Nice and Professional Host
Sharita_F, Apr 2024
Host was very nice, respectful and accommodating. Responded appropriately with options to reschedule experience and was very professional about making changes.
Worthwhile
Margie_N, Apr 2024
Pop up diaramas of ancient Roman architecture. Good narration. Friendly staff. It's a helpful way to understand ancient Rome.
Mixed, great for families
Reginald_J, Mar 2024
I thought this experience was kind of basic and not worth my time BUT… My 21 year old daughter thought this was the coolest thing we saw in Rome… She talked about it all week. So five stars from me for that! Great for families.
Must do before exploring Rome
Sangramsinh_J, Mar 2024
Just excellent !!!
Definitely recommended to do before exploring Rome.
The cinema, different 3d models and plastic were truly amazing.
Very interesting and very well done!
Lori_M, Mar 2024
This is an outstanding experience! It provides a detailed history of Rome from the very beginning; however, bear in mind that with the exception of the first portion there is no opportunity to sit for this presentation which lasts approximately 25 minutes.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thank you Lori!
Stop here FIRST!
Marla_A, Mar 2024
This was a great way to understand the history and architecture of the city. I only wish we started our visit with this experience. It would have helped me to understand all the ruins I was seeing around town.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thank's Maria!
Excellent introduction to Rome
Alistair_D, Feb 2024
Excellent introduction to the history of Ancient Rome before seeing many of the places shown in the presentation. Well worth it
Really great guide!!
Johnnie_W, Feb 2024
Our guide was wonderful!!! If we book another tour I hope we can have him again!!! He was so knowledgeable about everything and was careful to warn us about uneven surfaces and anything that could cause a miss step. We felt cared for and protected !
Very educational and entertaining - do this before you go sightseeing and you will appreciate it so much more.
Bryden_S, Jan 2024
Loved it all, but the models overlaying the map of Rome were really informative. The movie at the end was excellent as well.
Learn how early Rome developed
Frank, Jan 2024
Unique opportunity for a visitor to Rome to learn about its early history and its development over several centuries.
Nice presentation
Belinda_V, Dec 2023
It was informative. Was not exactly what we were expecting but gave good insight into history. Was expecting more of a laser show but was not disappointed.
The experience was...
Husain_M, Dec 2023
The experience was amazing. The reconstructions, holograms, explanation all were amazing. I wished if they had also more to exhibit. I would hve stayed for longer.
A little dated, but good start
David_A, Nov 2023
Facilities a little dated, but it still was a pretty good way to start a few days in Rome. It was a good overview of the history and architecture.
Not too impressive
Beth_C, Nov 2023
I just wasn't that impressed. I was bored and falling asleep. Maybe because it was our first day in Rome and we hadn't slept for 24 hours.
