Weronika Chupka
★★★★★a year agoIt was amazing experience! Great introduction to Roman history with help of modern technology. We could see the whole story of how Rome was created and how it grew over the centuries. Also got to know more about some of the monuments. Highly recommended to do it on your first day, before going to explore all the landmarks in person. Later during the tours it all made more sense thanks to what we got to know earlier.

★★★★★6 months agoAn excellent introduction to the history of Rome, ideally to be visited at the beginning of a stay in Rome, so that the sights can be understood in the wider context. The information is relevant and interesting, and the visual effect help keep the attention alive for the whole duration--including that of my teenage son. The sequence of experiences inside the venue is well organized, and designed to enable visitors to spend the optimal amount of time in the show. Definitely something that would be interesting to replicate in other cities. Highly recommended for the whole family.
