The ultimate Ancient Rome tour experience

We booked this activity for two adults and a 9-year-old who is fanatical about Ancient Rome - this tour was excellent for both adults and children alike. You wear the headset and can view the exterior of the Colosseum as it would have been. Very fascinating and gets the children's imagination going! The staff is also very friendly and helpful - I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again. Thank you!

The best virtual reality of the Colosseum you'll find!

This was amazing! Perfect for anyone who doesn't like the usual tour guide activity. This small-group tour was amazing! Although we couldn't enter the Colosseum, we were able to see how it looked back in the day from the outside. I felt a bit silly surrounded by people with the headset on, but soon I got over it, and it was such a unique experience!

Colosseum Virtual Reality

Live an innovative and multisensory experience to discover the history of Ancient Rome ! Have you ever strolled through the town square meeting Roman gladiators and soldiers? With Ancient&Recent everything is possible!

Our Tour operator is the largest tourist reality able to offer innovative tours thanks to Virtual Reality . Multilingual content; interactivity and faithful animated 3D reconstructions will allow you to relive the Colosseum at the time of its heyday. All contents were handled by the well-known Prof. Filippo Coarelli and the Digilab Archeo & Arte3D department of the La Sapienza University of Rome.

The Colosseum is the largest amphitheater in history. The symbolic monument of the city of Rome , inside which the battles between the gladiators and the clashes between ferocious animals took place. Wearing the VR viewer you will find yourself catapulted into a virtual world. You can move around in real time at your convenience; stroll among the reconstructions and virtual objects; watch a battle between gladiators in the Colosseum Arena ; until you wander among the insidious and dark Colosseum underground .

Virtual Reality

Put on the VR viewe r, follow the anecdotes and legends and dive into history with us! With this Tour of the Colosseum you will virtually enter three different areas of the Colosseum :

Once you have worn the VR viewer you will find yourself on the square outside the Colosseum . Before you the showiness of the white marble shines in the sunlight. Statues of divinities in the arches; emperors; poets; philosophers. Red curtains that give color. On your left the Colossus of Nero , 35 meters of gilded bronze. Monument to which the Colosseum owes its name. Advancing towards the Arch of Constantine , the Meta Sudans rises, the majestic fountain of the gladiators . And then the Temple of Venus and Rome , built by Hadrian in 131 AD. Meanwhile, crowds of Romans and soldiers begin to enter to take their seats: The show is about to begin!

Look around. The crowd is trampling in the stands;  gladiators  wait to fight; the lions come out of their hatches ready to put on a show; the emperor is seated on his throne and is about to start the games. Look up. Watch the Velarium close above you. The battle has begun. Don’t miss it! Only one of the gladiators will survive. Who will decide their fate? You. You will be the emperor. It will be up to you to decide the fate of the wounded gladiator. Will it be Death or Life?

The Underground

She puts on the viewer for the last time and descends into the mysterious and dark  Colosseum underground. It advances in its long and narrow corridors. See the intricate structures of freight elevators around you and the slaves at work to lift them. The lit torches, a source of light. Hear the roar of hungry and angry beasts in their cages. They are ready to enter the Arena to entertain the public.

• mikekU7846ZY 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Highlight of our trip! Dario was fantastic. He was professional, personable and extremely capable. Our private tour of the Vatican with Mind The Guide was the absolute highlight of our trip to Rome. We had considered group tours but we are so pleased that we went this route. The personal attention we received and the level of direct interaction we had with our guide made this the best museum visit we have ever experienced. We booked around 30-days in advance via Tripadvisor and Dario communicated with us directly to confirm the booking and give us logistical details. He contacted us again the day before our tour to confirm the meetup location... The meetup was easy and on time. The walk though the museum was at a leisurely pace and full of interesting facts and info. Dario has spent years studying the works of this spectacular collection and he could confidently answer any questions we had. He is passionate about the works. He gave academic lessons blended with subjective critique which kept us very attentive throughout the day. I could add more but suffice it to say that we highly recommend the private tour of the Vatican with Mind the Guide. Read more Written March 9, 2020
• Chouque69 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles An excellet tourist guide Dario is an excellent tourist guide, with an extraordinary and uncommon knowledge of the history and art history of Rome. But his best characteristic is his ability to convey historical information in clear language and in a very appealing way.

• Monte0512 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Fantastic experience My family of four spent our first morning in Rome doing a food tour with Dario. What a fantastic way to start seeing Rome as we visited different shops, learned the difference between freshly baked breakfast pastries and the other factory baked ones. Absolutely amazing pizza, pasta and a visit to the markets. My personal highlights (besides breakfast) was talking to the owner at Casa Manco in the markets about how to make outstanding pizza in a city of pizza shops. The other was taste testing the most outstanding balsamic vinegars that had been aged like a good wine for five, ten, even 15 years. My biggest regret is most definitely not buying some straight away, thinking I shouldn’t be shopping in my first 12 hours of being in Rome. My advice is to buy now and think later as I never saw anything like it again! Thank you Dario. You were fantastic and were instrumental in ensuring we ate at fantastic places throughout our week due to your thoughtful recommendations.I might add that Dario was extremely easy to communicate with, responded to all my inquiries very promptly before the tour and his speciality is that he wants your whole time in Rome to be magical and recommends places to eat or go during your stay. The kids thought he was fantastic and we all had a morning to remember. Read more Written December 27, 2019
• eileen2007 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Wonderful 2 day tour with Dario Dario is a wonderful tour guide! Arranging our tour was very easy through email and Dario was very prompt in responding when I had questions. I felt like we were friends even before we met. Showing up in Rome was a little overwhelming since our group is pretty inexperienced with traveling, but Dario made us feel comfortable and at home. He gave us a map of where to meet him which I showed to the cab driver and we were dropped off at the exact spot. Dario met us on time and guided us through a delicious food market in Testaccio as well as stops in a few small shops where we could have a sample of some Italian delicacies. In the afternoon Dario highlighted some of the beautiful artwork in the Vatican and after made sure we got in a cab to return to our hotel. On the 2nd day he gave us the rich historical context of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Beyond this, he went out of his way to make us comfortable in the city; he helped us find taxis, gave us plenty of restaurant recommendations, and even gave us ideas of walking tours we could take on our own. We feel like we got a full Rome experience thanks to Dario! Read more Written December 26, 2019

• damenaomineufeld 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Outstanding guide My friends and I have just returned from a whistle stop tour of Rome where Dario was our guide, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is very pleasant, extremely knowledgeable, and he explains everything in an engaging and logical manner. He is also super efficient to make sure that his customers do the minimum amount of queuing in a city full of tourists and queues - we zapped past everyone right to the front. There is an incredible amount of art to see and history to absorb at the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, but the time flew by as Dario made it all so interesting for us.

Dario took my wife and me on a day tour of Rome that included the Coliseum, the Vatican Museums, St. Peter's, the Pantheon, and other sites and neighborhoods. He customized it to meet our needs (we don't like to linger) and to avoid the sun. He is not only knowledgeable and fluent in English, but very engaging, so the day was enjoyable as well as informative. We recommend him highly for any tour of Rome! Read more Written August 28, 2019
• OllieBee88 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Highly recommend! My husband and I were recommended to Dario from my family who had previously visited and toured with Dario telling us we must book with him; and were they right. We started our Roman holiday with the Food Tour in Testaccio. This tour was such a great experience to learn the future and everyday life the Italians live. The food was incredible, and Dario had so much knowledge and passion for this town which made the experience perfect. You must experience this with Dario, he is the best!

• R2628GXpaulm 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles YES! Take Darios Food Tour I was so fortunate! Ended up just Dario and myself as others did not show. This did not effect the tour at all. It was like an old friend showing me around his neighborhood and stopping in for snacks. While the food was great my favorite part was when we say down with gelato in the square and just talked about the neighborhood and saw the local residents enjoying the Saturday morning. Thanks Dario for making Rome personal to me both with food and experiance! Read more Written June 18, 2019
• Peter B 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles A great tour of Rome guided by Dario It was our third visit to Rome ( my wife keeps throwing coins in that fountain), we only had a couple of days before boarding a cruise out of the Port of Civitavecchia. We were attracted to "Mind the Guide" walks after reading some very good reviews. We booked the walk with Dario for early one morning in an attempt to beat the crowds. As it turned out my wife and I were the only customers. But that was not an issue with Dario. So were got an extremely personalised tour. First up was the Colosseum. Even early in the morning the queue's were enormous, however Dario's expert knowledge guided us through the crowd to some gates where he new the entrance staff by name. We were inside in a very reasonable amount of time. Excellent tour of the Colosseum ensured with thorough history of the building, the life of the Romans , the emperors , the gladiators and animals brought to the games. Loved it. Next it was onto the Forum which a huge area with many building which Dario covered extensively in his colourful talk. Finally it was up to the Palatine Hill for its gardens and amazing views of Rome. In a couple of hours, we got to know Dario quite well. He is a lovely fellow with great knowledge and passion for his job. Thoroughly recommend Dario and the "Mind the guide" tour. Especially if your time in Rome is short.

• 772matheusb 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Nice, efficient, polite and professional When I was doing my research about private guides in Rome it was a lot difficult to find the right information about the guide. Fortunately I found Dario. As soon as I emailed him, he answered on the same day. Always replying quickly through email before my trip he sent me every detail necessary for our tours. As I arrived he exceeded all expectations. We had the coliseum and Roman Forum + Vatican tours. He was always punctual, kind, smart and gave us every explanation possible. After visiting so many countries I don't think that I ever had a better tour guide. If you are taking a trip to Rome, I strongly recommend that you hire him. It will tottaly change your experience!

• pakabay 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great Experience & Value For Money Three of us walked, eat & drank our way around Testaccio with Dario, on a private walking food tour. Firstly, I am very glad that we didn’t have breakfast before as there is more than enough to eat during the 3 hour walk. We started by having coffee & croissant at a very special pasticceria and followed that up with an amazing selection of Characters, Providores Cooks & Shopkeepers. All places that I have never visited and I have been lucky enough to visit Rome a number of times. We joked, we ate, we discussed cultures and food but most importantly we had a great time. The next evening we did another walking tour with Dario, this time in Trastevere. Again Dario was an entertaining, informative and personable guide. Again, we went to places that we would never have found on our own - not with all of the research in the world. We have done a number of food tours & experiences around the world and without doubt, Mind The Guide with Dario is right up there with the best. Do yourself a favour and book something!

In February, the pop star announced that she was going on vocal rest.

“Sadly I have to take a beat and pause my Vegas residency,” Adele wrote in  a social media post at the time.

“I was sick at the end of the last leg and all the way through my break,” she said, adding that she “hadn't quite gotten the chance to get back to full health before shows resumed.” 

Adele then said said that continuing too soon caused her to be “sick again, and unfortunately it's all taken a toll on my voice.”

On doctor's orders, she planned to rest until she received the all-clear.

Five remaining weekends had been affected, and the dates that needed to be rescheduled were March 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23, 29 and 30.

"I love you, I’ll miss you like mad and I’m sorry for the inconvenience," Adele concluded in the caption.
