Additional Information

Your journey begins at the thermal baths, where the residual heat of the calidariums and the sound of the Gela river filling the frigidarium still lingers.

The vivid and captivating mosaics will make you feel as if you are a part of the history they portray, to the extent that you might think you can hear the crowd’s roar at quadriga races.

You’ll explore the guest apartment, filled with depictions of everyday activities like hunting, fishing, and feasting. Afterwards, you’ll transition to the Villa’s public area, where guests of the owner were ushered through the awe-inspiring promenade of the Great Hunt, a grand geographical representation of the Roman Empire.

Your tour culminates in the private quarters of the domina and dominus.

  • The entrance ticket will be provided directly by the guide at the meeting point
  • The tour could be carried out simultaneously in Italian and English
  • Animals are not allowed

An exceptional experience - Stefania was an excellent guide. Her knowledge of the mosaics and the stories they encapsulated was very well articulated. The preservation and extent of the mosaics and frescoes is worth the trip.

I would never hire them again. - Do not hire this company, very bad experience. We hired a tour in Spanish with an entrance ticket included and when we are already there with the guide they tell us that it is not included even after having shown them the purchase confirmation in which it clarifies that the ticket is included, wasting tour time and having to return to pay the tickets. Of course, the guide Luigi, who had nothing to do with this company, was super good with us and told us that it always happened with the tour. The Empeeria company sells misleading information, I recommend hiring the guide separately.

Do not book the tour with this company - Very bad experience with this company. We hired the tour in Spanish with a guide included and when we got there they told us that the guide is not included and that we have to pay €12 more.

Do not contrast with this company - Very bad experience with this company, we hired a tour with a guide in Spanish with tickets included and when we arrived at the villa, they told us that we had to pay the entrance fee, we lost more than half an hour calling the company and we also had to pay it again

Appalling - Very bad experience. We booked an excursion with tickets included. At the moment of truth they forced us to pay them and at no time did they show their faces. On the other hand, Luigi offered us a magnificent tour in Spanish.
