Take advantage of a unique opportunity to explore one of the most exclusive ancient sites in Rome throughout a special guided visit to the opulent Golden House of Nero. Experience the magnificent architecture of the notorious emperor’s vast palace, which was a vivid symbol of his immense ego. After a fire devastated the capital of the Roman Empire in 64 A.D., the emperor had his architects fashion an immense dwelling over the smoldering remains of the devastated city.

What they came up with was awe-inspiring, with scarcely believable highlights including a rotating dining room open to the starry night sky and a massive artificial lake. In 68 A.D., the emperor’s wicked ways caught up with him and he was forced to commit suicide.

As you make your exciting descent into the eerie excavated remains of Nero’s Golden House today, you’ll be journeying back in time to the extravagant heyday of the Roman empire. Learn all about the fascinating life and times of Nero in the company of a guide.

    We were extremely disappointed. We received an email that our tour entrance time was changed on the day of the tour. Then the tour guide did not show and left a group of us standing at the gate with no tickets.

  • Great building, useless guide

    I know it's hard to speak a second language but our tour guide did not know enough English to be able to inform the group. He also repeated the material that was in the opening video right before we saw the opening video. He also focused too much on the architecture and spoke very little about the historical context of Nero's reign.
