A virtual reconstruction of the column gives you a close up look at the bas-reliefs and the story they tell of Trajan’s military campaign: the conquest of Dacia, present day Romania.

Great for families, couples, small group!
This is the second time I’ve done this tour and it doesn’t disappoint. We first watched a 25 minute video covering the ancient ruins with renderings of what they may have looked like versus what we see now. Very interesting! A short walk away we then went to Palazzo Valentini. We were about 15 minutes early and they suggested we take a seat in the vestibule and wait for the your to start. At about 1 minute prior to start time, I stuck my head in the “office” and realized they had forgotten about us! The guide was ready to take what appeared to be a school group and get started. Thankfully others in the office were able to stop her and we started our tour. My friends I was with had never been on this tour before and they enjoyed it as well. Except for the small hiccup to start, it was excellent. My only suggestion would be to have a few less on the tour. The spaces are small and not everyone on our tour would step aside to allow everyone to see the highlights of the room.

Don't book through Viator. Ticket pickup is nowhere near this site.
Don't book through Viator. Go to the site directly. They made us walk an extra mile. Ticket pick up location is nowhere near the actual location. Then, when we finally got to the location (which is a Rome Tours facility) we had to wait in line for 20 minutes in a small cramped building with no air-conditioning.

Fascinating tour
The combination of audio guide and audiovisual effects worked really well. I liked the way you could see the ruins, carefully lit, from above through a glass floor. The story of the excavation is very interesting and the re-creation of the rooms of the Roman villa through AV effects really brought it to life. Beautiful mosaics exist in good condition and are lovely. A really worthwhile and fascinating tour.

Exceptional tour!
This experience really shows what ancient Roman buildings would have looked like on the inside. Highly recommend.

It’s incredibly important to the Touristation team that we provide a memorable and enjoyable tour experience, and your feedback truly means a lot to us. We look forward to welcoming you again soon! Best regards, Touristation Customer Service

A wonderful immersive experience
This really is an amazing place to visit. The whole tour is incredible. They have discovered 2 Roman houses underground and have used multimedia to bring the archaeological remains to life. I have not seen anything like this before and really is worth a visit. The tour uses an audio guide with very comfortable headphones and a guide who positions you at each point so you can experience everything they have to offer. All of the remains are covered by a glass floor and they use lights, graphics and projections to bring everything to life. There are Roman baths, staircases, roads, beautiful mosaic floors amongst other things. A must see!
Response from the operator: Dear Customer, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us! We are delighted to hear that you had a positive experience, and we truly look forward to welcome you back in the future. Best regards, Touristation Customer Service

Palazzo Valentini Ancient Domus Underground Multimedia Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Palazzo Valentini Ancient Domus Underground Multimedia Experience cost?
+
Prices start at €20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Palazzo Valentini Ancient Domus Underground Multimedia Experience take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.
Is Palazzo Valentini Ancient Domus Underground Multimedia Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Palazzo Valentini Ancient Domus Underground Multimedia Experience?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Palazzo Valentini Ancient Domus Underground Multimedia Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Palazzo Valentini Ancient Domus Underground Multimedia Experience?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Palazzo Valentini Ancient Domus Underground Multimedia Experience start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pizza & Gelato Class with Wine by Cooking Italy, Rome [4in1] Pasta Making_Tiramisù_Wine Tasting_Secret Cellar, Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rome?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Palazzo Valentini Ancient Domus Underground Multimedia Experience?
+
Included: 25 min Ancient Rome multimedia video; City APP Audioguide; and Palazzo Valentini Virtual Experience. Not included: Drink and food; Guided Tour at Palazzo Valentini; and Pick Up from and to the Hotel. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Palazzo Valentini Ancient Domus Underground Multimedia Experience?
+
The experience starts at Le Domus Romane di Palazzo Valentini, Foro Traiano 85, Rome, 00186, Italy. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Palazzo Valentini Ancient Domus Underground Multimedia Experience offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Russian, Japanese, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Palazzo Valentini Ancient Domus Underground Multimedia Experience?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Palazzo Valentini Ancient Domus Underground Multimedia Experience wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Palazzo Valentini Ancient Domus Underground Multimedia Experience if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Rome. Standard cancellation terms apply.
