Unforgettable and participatory - Small but very complete museum enlivened with very didactic explanations. Typical dinner and gladiator show with audience participation. We had a really good time.

Great Experience for ancient traditions - We first saw the show 5 years ago and it was a highlight of our trip. This time we brought our friends to this show. Everyone has a great time. I would say the show 5 years ago had more Gladiator flights and now was more kid friendly.

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.

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.
