Domus Aurea (Rome) in a foreign language?

Posted by (Ohio) on

We would like to have an English language Domus tour (https://colosseo.it/area/domus-aurea/), but they seem to get snapped up quickly (instantly??)

There seems to be good availability in Italian...

Other than Ciao and Grazie, we don't speak Italian.

Has anyone taken a tour like this in a foreign language? Any experience like this at the Domus?
I'm thinking it could be a way to see the Domus, but might be frustrating not understanding anything the guide says (even simple things like 'come this way')

Thanks for any insight!

I did the Domus tour (in English) last fall. What you could do is try to get some information before the tour that you could read/ follow along while you're on the tour? I feel like I remember there not being good cell service inside the building. So you would need to download information or print it out. I considered taking the Italian tour at one point but then space opened up. What you see is so amazing I would not miss it. One of the highlights is a virtual reality headset that shows what the original Villa looked like and you don't need English for that!
