Fantastic experience with Alice (with a fish 🐠 on her pole!)

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We enjoyed an educational and informative tour of the Colloseum and Palatine Hill. Alice was second to none with her fantastic take on the history, architecture and fabulous sense of humour. Remember to take your ID to enter the Colloseum. We thoroughly recommend Rutas Romanas. The length of the tour is approx. 2 hours 45 but you can leave earlier if you inform the guide. It was an amazing tour.

5.00It was a few weeks ago and truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. We learned so much about the city, and Demos was definitely the highlight of it. The way he guided us through everything was perfect. It’s an experience we’ll always remember.
