Mary H. –
We really enjoyed our virtual reality tour – our guide Valentina was so helpful. We took my elderly mother who had some difficulty operating the VR glasses, but Valentina helped her throughout, ensuring my mum had the best possible experience.
So glad we did this tour as it really does give you an immersive experience of how it was – you get to explore the exterior, inside the arena, from the perspective of Emperor and also the basement areas which housed the wild animals and gladiators. After, you go into the colleseum with the group, and then are free to explore the site at your leisure. It was for my husband a highlight of our trip!
