Rome: Circus Maximus Virtual Reality Game near the Colosseum

Our kids had a great time with it and really enjoyed the interactive components. A perfect Outdoor Experience.

My son (16) and I had a very nice experience. Our contact, Rose, did a fantastic job explaining how the equipment worked. The organization was very kind to call the day before to plan a reschedule since bad weather was predicted. This morning we received a whatsapp to ask if we would be still be up to do the experience. We were a bit early at the meeting point but our contact, Rose, dashed to meet us. Rose was happy and eager to help us and ensure that we would enjoy it.The experience with the vr glasses was very informative and especially the end was fun (no spoilers)😀

I traveled thousands of years and I saw birth to Rome, its people, its horses, its markets and until the Most Circus was built. With a brief explanation of the Rose guide, very clear and friendly, we were able to drive our horses and have fun.

Very nice, the only way to make the circus attractive for small kids. The guide is super nice and very patient

We were with Rose and she was lovely, a great experience. Altought it was in the street it's an original activity easy to enjoy and I'd recommend it to friends. Rose was really kind with us and helped me with everything I needed at the acticity.

Great and our guide Alessia spectacular and super friendly and friendly. We are delighted with the whole experience

Today, the Circus Maximus in Rome amounts to little more than a very large field and a few small ruins. Certainly a far cry from what it was in ancient Rome, a chariot racing stadium and entertainment venue recalled by the climactic chariot race in the 1959 epic movie "Ben-Hur" starring Charlton Heston. It once was the largest building for public entertainment in antiquity and one of the largest in history, much larger than the nearby Colosseum. It measured 2,037 feet long and 387 feet wide and accommodated 150,000 people, as many as 300,000 on some occasions. Aside from the more celebrated chariot races, it also hosted wild animal hunts, athletic events, processions and gladiatorial combats. The massive venue was divided down the middle by a 340-meter-long masonry spine with a pillar at each end to mark the turns. Located in the middle of the valley between the Aventine and Palatine hills, Circus Maximus was founded in the 6th century BC by Tarquinius Priscus, the fifth king of Rome. Horses raced there for 1,000 years. The last race was recorded in 550 AD. Damaged several times by fire, the Circus Maximus was almost completely rebuilt under Emperor Trajan and most of the structure visible today was built during his reign. The two large Egyptian obelisks that used to be on the site have been moved. Augustus' obelisk of Pharaoh Ramses 11 now stands in Plaza de Popolo and Constantine's obelisk of Thothmes 111 is next to the Basilica of St. John Laternan. Did you know that one charioteer raced for 24 years in the 2nd century AD, won 3,000 times with a two-horse chariot and 1,462 times with a four-horse chariot? When he retired, he had accumulated the fabulous sum of 35 million sesterces or $400 million in today's accounting. Clearly, the Lionel Messi or Le Bron James of his day.

It was Fun. We had a good time. Our son really enjoyed it. They explain really well how the Circus Maximus existed. They even make you participate at a race at the end. It is very well made. And the person who took care of us was very sweet and professional. We recommand this expe

Very fun and unique. The guide was very attentive, patient and treated us very well throughout the game. It is a very interesting experience and you can see that they create and produce their games with great commitment and affection.

They do provide an eyecover mask, but the vr gadget itself is not sanitized. You will be asked to wear the strap around your neck - which previously was strapped around the neck of the person ahead of you. We visited in summer, so people are sweating all over, so..... [same with the headsets yay!] The audio was ok, visuals was a disgrace to the true grandeur of Rome. The 3d tech they were using was probably 20 years ago. This made the experience really boring and unworthy of people's time. I can smell a man's sweat, whenever i put the VR gadget on my face, aggravate that with the poor, dull 3d visuals - every moment of the experience i was wishing that it would end sooner. The concept was good, but the execution was terrible. Stay away, or don't put your hopes up too much.
