Roaming in Rome with Raul.

Andrew_M, Jun 2024

Fantastic tour. I think Raul could be the most knowledgeable Spaniard in Rome since Maximus Decimus Meridius. He did the tour in English and I could hear him perfectly with the ear piece. Even my teenagers enjoyed it.

Coliseum, Palatine Hill

Yolanda_K, Jun 2024

Raul was an excellent tour guide. Knowledgeable and answered all the questions we had. He also brought a book to show what the coliseum and Palatine Hill looked like before and everyone wanted one. The tour of Coliseum and Palatine Hill was GREAT. All the movies I've seen when I was younger came to life. I would recommend this tour to everyone. BTW, I used Viator for all my day trips, prices were great and skip the line is a great plus.
