Really helped to visualize what the colosseum was like at its height. Adults and kids really enjoyed it. Really nice to skip the lines as well!

Purchased these tickets for the VR experience and ability to skip the line. The VR explanation sounded very intriguing and exciting to be able to see a recreation of the colosseum dating back to its beginning. We had 10 in our group. My family bought 4 tickets. The day before our tour. Another family of 2 received an email, that said the VR experience is cancelled due to technology problems and your new time to arrive is 45 minutes later. The rest of us did NOT receive an email. We went at the 9AM scheduled time but no one with a black La Vacanza Travel flag was at the meeting spot. We looked on our app and there was a message about the cancelled VR. Since we now had 45 min. to blow off our steam and grab coffee, we left. At 9:20 we get a call that says you are late and where are you!? Another person received communication on the app, '"have you found us?" We hurried back to the meeting spot and no one was there. We waited until 9:50AM and the lady with the black flag arrived. We explained our irritation with the process, lack of communication, and missing out on VR. She couldn't help us and said call the office. We called later that day and they said we would get a partial refund. Our tickets were originally, $192 for 4 tickets. We got an email that we will get a refund of $92. Have not seen that come through yet and it has been 5 business days. Needless to say, we did get in and skip the line quickly, but I could have paid 19 euros to skip the line on a competitors site and skipped all this hassle!

This was my first time using VR and I loved it! Combining Ancient ruins with Virtual Reality so you could see the Colloseam in it's heyday was amazing! We did this as a family with our 2 young boys 9 & 7 and we all thought it was great, I think the boys would have liked the tour but with the VR it really just added that extra bit to make it a special day out and a great learning experience. The guides were helpful and friendly also.

We showed up 15 minutes early and we’re unable to find the group. We tried to call and message them but they had left without us. We then had to purchase tickets again and then the tour operator got back to us after we had already bought new tickets. When we requested a refund they refused using the excuse that we were late. 0/10 recommend don’t waste your money on this tour.
