This was a great introduction to the History of Rome, especially for my kids. The venue is outdated and needs to upgrade it's seats and headphones, but is still worth a visit.

We really enjoyed it. It was great for first time visitors like my grandaughter.Everything she saw afterwards made so much sense. Recommended...

Review by: Wendy W	February 2012
The ride is tired and the script dated. The ride also didn't always move in a way that made sense of the script. Try going to disney guys, see how they do it!

Great experience. Tour prices were the exact same walk up prices however. But, without Viator, I would not have known about this tour. Did this on our first day in Rome, which definitely made the remaining days of our trip more meaningful as we knew more about the history of Rome.

Review by: JT Kenny	December 2011
A bit disappointing. The actual video is very informative but I wouldn't recommend sitting in the moving chairs. It's not as smooth as any modern I-max or similar rides and after a few minutes anyone we talked to just felt ill. I would still recommend it but choose to sit in the fixed seating.

my family were a little disappointed as there were no 3d glasses and the whole place seemed a llittle dated !!

Review by: Sharon C	September 2011
Very informative, great way to get an overview of Rome's history for first time visitors. Took my 9 year old daughter, and she managed to get a lot of information from this tour. Wish there was more "3-D" element, but overall....very well done!!

Review by: richard m	September 2011
This serves as an introduction to Roman history and the City. The theater is running down but still delivers. Cost and time are both well worth it.

Review by: Krystal H	September 2011
nauseating and cheesy. great for kids. adults choose something else.

Review by: Julie D	September 2011
This is a quick and easy way to begin a trip in Rome with a historic overview.

Review by: MARIA-LUISA S	August 2011
We did it the same day we landed in Rome, thus before officially starting the visit. This made the 3D movie very timely, for the kids got familiar with everything before actually seeing it. However, we would have liked to know in advance that specific scenes are shot in a so-realist way likely to shock kids (the murder of Caesar and the death of Jesus Christ). Ours are 8 and 5.

Quite good, enjoyed it !!

Review by: WarriorMom	August 2011
Beware...if you have a tight schedule while in Rome and you want to take this tour during the tourist busy season, you may want to hold off from buying this tour ahead of time. Viator was GREAT about working with us ...so no problems with them. Our problem was trying to get in to the tour itself. We had a window of open time and when we went to get our tickets the showtimes we wanted were already sold out. When you buy this through Viator you are buying for a specific day and not a specific tour time of that day. We tried twice to go back to do this with our teen boys but it was already sold out. Unfortunately we never got in so I cannot comment on the 3-D experience. Just know that Viator has responded very well to our situation.

Review by: Kazza	August 2011
slightly disappointing. Expected a 3D simulation with glasses but mainly got a seat bouncing around. The narrative disappeared from the screen before you could read it all.

Review by: Michael S	August 2011
Don't expect special glasses for a regular 3-D movie; the 3-D is three screens at different angles. The simulator itself makes quite a bit of noise. The information and video ( and the simulator movements) made it enjoyable for kids and adults alike. It was an interesting perspective to get the feel for the history of Rome. Easy yet memorable. Certainly worth it for families.

Review by: susan S	July 2011
Staff at Time Elevator was rude but the presentation itself was very well done and kept the kids interested too. Similar to Back to the Future at Universal studios.

Review by: Nipun S	July 2011
Amazing a must must do in Rome

Review by: WILLIAM T	July 2011
not something i would rush back to. staff not very friendly or helpful and show ok

Review by: JJ H	July 2011
Very disappointing. The staff was unhelpful, didn't explain the procedure to obtain tickets for theon-line booking. This resulted in us waiting for 90 minutes. The show itself was disappointing, the 4D an unnecessary gimmick and the content of the show was not really inetresting.The price on our ticket also did not correspond to the amount charged online. It seems that a premium is placed on online bookings. I would definitely not recommend this experience to anyone.

Review by: Tina K	July 2011
A little difficult to locate but well worth experiencing before you travel and sight see in Rome as this gave a fantastic understanding of the city from its birth through to present day

Review by: Sai Reddy	July 2011
A nice overview of Roman history.

Review by: Nora	June 2011
This is a must for kids,before you go to any tour in the city....the kids liked it so much that we watched it again the following day.

Review by: J W	June 2011
This is highly recommended for everybody visiting Rome for the first time.

Review by: Gregory F	May 2011
Good show!

Review by: mattyhouser	April 2011
perfect to do before exploring Rome!

Review by: Evan S	January 2011
Tourist trap!

Review by: Alexandros M	January 2011
The show was interesting but it wasn't 3D!_br/_ Very informative about the story of Rome and suitable not only for kids but for adults too._br/_ The title is misleading though since there was no 3D in the show

Review by: laurie l	January 2011
Had some reservations when I read somewhere this was tacky, but we all enjoyed it lots-even me who does not do "rides". Definitely do this first thing on your visit to Rome as it does give you a good idea as to what you are seeing now as far as ruins. PS-staying in the Pantheon area is a plus as this is close by and everything else is within walking distance

Review by: Johan R	January 2011
This was really fun, it was very informative and fun, we all loved it.

Review by: AUSTIN D	December 2010
The Time Elevator is a great movie to see to get the kids excited about the history of Rome. I took my 3 children ranging in ages from 9 - 14 and they really learned a lot. It really helped them understand what they were about to see over the next few day's while in Rome. I would definitely recommend this movie.

Review by: Betty A	December 2010
Could have done without this expense. Was not wowed at all.

Review by: BRETT K	November 2010
Good for a family. Passes a bit of time if you have a rainy day

Review by: Matthew A	November 2010
Staff exceptionally bad. We arrived 15mins before show, with our pre booked voucher, told to "go away for 15mins". When we returned, told to come back in an hour, as we should have handed in our pre booked voucher to receive a ticket when we first arrived, There were no no more placed. No apology at all for not informing us of this. Complete lack of charm. Will not recommend.

Review by: Francine G	October 2010
I didn't know what to expect because the reviews were all over the place. Our 14 year old loved the movie. The simulated ride wasn't so great but I enjoyed the movie.

Review by: Katie L	September 2010
Good for kids more so than adults

Review by: Alan N	August 2010
This is a great first stop for pre-teens and teens who aren't immersed in Roman history. Following another reviewers advice, we planned this visit first and it helped everyone get in the mood. My kids 10,13 loved it.

Review by: Anonymous	August 2010
Content of the movie was great - exactly what we were looking for as an orientation to Rome. However, the amusement ride motion of the chair detracted from the experience.

Review by: Anonymous	August 2010
This is ok for what it is. My children enjoyed it. They tried to sell us additional simulated rides on arrival so be warned!

Review by: Issam E	July 2010
It's a good way to familiarize yourself with Rome before stepping really into the streets. The kids and we were impressed. The place needs a larger banner on via del corso cause it's relatively difficult to find.

Review by: Eileen C	July 2010
The time elevator was interesting, explained some of the history of rome in an entertaining way. I am sure that I paid for 45minutes but only got the 30 minute show! Found it hard to find the venue.

Review by: Dorothy L, United States of America	May 2010
Very fun experience. Hard to locate the place. More signage would have been nice.

Review by: PATRICK C, United Kingdom	May 2010
good choice enjoyed bt my 8 year old grandson.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	April 2010
This is a great introduction to Rome at the beginning of one's stay there. I didn't feel that the movement of the seats added much to the presentation, however it certainly makes it more fun for children. Trevi Fountain is close by.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	March 2010
The adults and the kids in our party enjoyed this!

Review by: Rosemary R, United Kingdom	February 2010
I took my son, aged 9, to see this, and he and I really enjoyed it. It brought history to life with the additional bonus of a moving seat, which my son found most exciting. He hasn't stopped talking about it.

Review by: Michelle P, United Kingdom	August 2009
Hard place to find, does need a sign on the street as tucked away. Kids loved it. Good end to the break.

Review by: Anonymous, United Kingdom	August 2009
Good insight into the history of Rome for younger members of the family.
