Summary:
The Roman Experience was one of the highlights of our trip. Joe, the first Roman we met, was fantastic, theatrical, engaging, and clearly passionate about his role. He brought the character to life and made the whole experience fun and interactive. We had a good laugh with him, and he was just as friendly when we saw him again at the end. The experience itself was informative, hands-on, and thoroughly enjoyable. A great way to round off our weekend in Chester.
Thank you!

The staff were knowledge and enthusiastic and explained history in a fun and informative manner for all. We stayed for about an hour and a half and will be back again next year.
