Domus Aurea is definitely worth seeing. - Our guide Patrick was exceptional, “6stars”? He mentioned that the order of the rooms on display had been changed and that sometimes that could happen with very little notice, so the tour did not last the full time, but he took us down to the gladiator’s training site and gave us a very interesting insight into what that involved. I thought that showed a lot of professionalism on his part. The virtual experience was almost overwhelming.

Domus Aurea Guided Tour - Fabulous tour, our tour guide Patrick was knowledgeable and a great storyteller. The site is incredible, you can't believe your eyes. This site is well run, you can really take it all in without feeling rushed or packed into a tight room. I would recommend this tour to everyone. Thank you, Patrick, and Through Eternity Tours.

The Golden House of Nero - A must visit for the great history Rome! Book early and know that entrance is limited!! The tour guides are great but the virtual reality headset is amazing.

Excellent Tour of Domus Aurea - The guide, Valentina, was very good and knowledgeable. There was a hiccup with the venue (which was not going to honour everyone's tickets) which the guide did a great job resolving. Do.us Aurea is stunning and well worth seeing.

Only about 25 people-so you could see the sites. - Our guide was knowledgeable and did a good job of connecting what we were seeing with the rest of the ruins we've seen in Rome and placing them in the 1000 years of history! And our group was only about 25 people. Groups any larger than that & you can't see what the guide is explaining and you are also an obstacle to rest of the people visiting the sites.

A Great Experience - Very good tour guide who was animated and informative. Good access to most excavated portions. Excellent virtual reality presentation that helped you appreciate the magnitude and opulence of the original palace.
