Go 'Underground' to Experience the Oldest Part of Rome!!

Daniele and the Domus Aurea tour are fantastic, a real must-do in Rome! Meeting was timely and the value of being able to see inside the 'Golden House' of Nero was priceless. Daniele was so knowledgeable and passionate about this Roman treasure and it made the ancient experience come alive. Small group kept the tour moving along and the newly opened part of the excavation was worth it. Highly recommend!
Spectacular rip off

It was most unprofessional terrible tour I have ever had. I paid £207 for a two hour private tour for me and my son. We had 30 min basic explanation in very bad English. I knew more than the guide. Then the guide took us out of Domus just to fill time . He showed us olive trees around the museum. At this point we and American couple who shared tour with us left. I will demand refund
Response from Host , Oct 2021
what we mentioned in our tour that we provided with our private guide . even your vaccination card was not valid when Domus security checked the vaccine card. but our guide requested to allow clients like you. Domus inside nobody can't stay more then 45 minutes, and in our tour category in viator written very clearly the information
***from Monday to Thursday : limited visit to the Ottagona room and neighboring rooms, including the immersive exhibition, with compulsory accompaniment*** so the later domus our private guide show to the travellers neighbours of the domus Arura which we mentioned. So there had nothing to say if you didn't read well the service before booked them. Then later justice like that you just think you paid money. And very easily send us feedback 1* next time read the instructions and tour description definitely book anything before. And
our other USA travelers they did the tour till finished. they never left the guide which you guys just think about the money. if you had a main reason about the money so why you booked this tour. definitely, our other 2 travelers wrote 5* feedback soon.god bless you .
Golden experience!

The Domus Aurea with the special Raffaello exhibit was wonderful! Our guide Daniele was very knowledgeable and personal. A special experience!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
