Then, go underground to Nero's Golden Palace and discover the extraordinary wealth of Ancient Rome. Nero's Golden Palace (the Domus Aurea) was noted for its sheer extravagance, hence the nickname, that stuck.

Superb tour guides -- great time in both the Colosseum and Nero's Golden House.

Published on Aug, 2023

Absolutely excellent tour guide with suberb knowledge. Could not have been better. We loved it. Well -paced to accomodate a family member with a bad knee. Yet so packed with great information!

great tour with the basis of the Colosseum

Published on Jul, 2023

By starting with Nero's Palace you can see the basis of why the Colosseum was built onto the structure itself.

Wonderful Experience

Published on May, 2022

Our tour guide Elisa for the first half of the tour was amazing, and the Domus Aurea was very interesting. I would highly recommend.

Bundle of History

Published on Jan, 2020

This tour package is perfect for anybody wanting to see Ancient Rome highlights in one day. Yes it is a lot of walking and you will be wiped by the end of the day but the tour guides do a great job of allowing breaks and not overloading with too much information. Nero's Palace was very interesting!

Fabulous Tour of Colosseum, Forum and Domus Aurea

Published on Nov, 2019

Our tour guide, Vincenza, set the stage for understanding the time period, the place, the people and the environment of the Colosseum and the Forum. Information was informative, the specific stops along the way were beautiful to look at as well as deepened our understanding. The tour felt thorough and not rushed despite growing crowds. Vincenza moved us from space to space while sharing knowledge and allowing time for questions. After the Forum, he walked us to the Domus Aurea, where he departed and we joined up with another tour guide. The virtual tour was remarkable. Overall today was a day when I think I finally began to understand the relationships between these three areas. This is a great tour!
