Gladiator training with children - We went to gladiator training with this really great reenactment group. Our trainer was very knowledgeable about military history details and "pushed" us through a varied training program that both small and older children and I as an adult had a lot of fun with! Really great! We hope that this group always stays alive and continues to enrich the city with its historical representation!

Excellent night apart from the mosquitoe - The enthusiasm and knowledge of the host was impressive and his jokes made us laugh. The gladiator fights were energetic and realistic and the mime and dancing were entertaining The wine and snacks were tasty and the museum aptly gruesome. The only downside was the mosquitoes. The organisers are aware of this and if you ask, will let you use some spray but there are no warnings about this, so you don't know until you've been bitten. Would I go again? Yes but I would cover myself in mosquito spray first.

Fantastic show - Fantastically knowledgeable. I, from Sweden, became positive about the whole thing. If one were to see any development opportunity, perhaps a welcome drink and souvenir sales

Very Well Done Show - This is one of the favorite activities in Rome for our boys. They attended the gladiator school in 2020, and we recently went to the live performance in the evening, which was very professional and entertaining. Before the performance, a cast member gave a brief and informative tour of the museum on site.

Lives during the Roman times - We saw the show after visiting the Colosseum during the day. The show and the museum helped us relate better to the life of the gladiators during the Roman era

Great evening of Roman Gladiator history and family entertainment - Very friendly and welcoming hosts at the Gladiator School. Excellent museum of artefacts and explanation of gladiator history with plenty of interaction for the children in the group. Entertaining show of dance and Gladiatorial combat. Pleasant tot of wine and small snacks. Thank you to all involved for making it a great evening.

Great end to our time in Rome! - This was amazing! So much fun. We learned so much and it was very interactive. My husband was crowned emperor of Rome. 🤗

Great Show, Great Time!! - As a quick summary (but please read the review!): Excellent Show *Knowledgeable and friendly staff *Taste of wine and food *Great Gladiator show Show - (our 9 year-old daughter enjoyed it as did we!!) *Little out of the way (but return taxi's arranged by venue) *Would DO it again! I booked this event as an 'added' event when arranging my families trip to Rome, it was something that we had not seen before and weren't sure on just how good it would be - Turned out it was one of the best things we did on our holiday. (Please note that i have been to Rome on numerous occasions, so have explored many places, this isn't a review written by someone who doesn't know anything about the city) The event started with a tour of their on site museum (it is small, just a large room but was packed with loads of items depicting items form the roman era.) The host was very knowledgeable, and entertaining, and included wider history from before the Romans. After the tour we had some food and wine (water for the kids), which was small, but it was only meant to provide an idea of the food at the time. The actual show was great, (not wanting to spoil anything), but, there was a mixture of games and other period 'in arena' displays. My wife and i enjoyed the atmosphere and my daughter (nine) really had a great time (including crowd engagement). I was even made a roman citizen ;) After the show the people were willing to take pictures in costume, and answer questions Overall FANTASTIC!!! I feel i must point out a small downside, as the event is held at a venue which is a little out of the way. We did walk to the site (we stayed in an apartment next to the Colosseum), but would not recommend it. This said the organizers arranged taxi's for those who needed it so did not have the worry about that - this taxi ride was only 17 Euros)

An honest review - Not too great - Regrettably, my experience left much to be desired. While the show's description held promise, the execution fell short in terms of quality. The actual gladiator performance lasted a mere 10 minutes and lacked the anticipated excitement. I apologize for my candid review, but I believe in honesty. I do believe that families with children under the age of 10 might find it enjoyable.

Thumbs down for sure - No memorable moments, extremely average at best. Location hard to get to & from. The Gladiator show was appalling, only about 5 minutes of supposed Gladiators in combat, which was so underwhelming as a spectacle.
