“We had an absolutely fantastic Roman tour in Chester! The 90-minute tour flew by, thanks to our brilliant guide, who was a historian specialising in the Roman period — his knowledge and passion really shone through. We got to see some incredible Roman sites that aren’t normally open to the public, which made the experience feel even more special. The guide kept everyone engaged with fascinating facts and stories, making sure kids of all ages stayed interested and entertained. It was a genuinely enjoyable and informative experience, well worth the cost. Highly recommended.”

“We really enjoyed our tour, it was interesting and fun. Our guide whose name I did not get was so good with all the children on the tour and kept us adults engaged too. Was fascinating to learn more about Roman Chester such a different way to see the city.”
