Must do trip! - Went as a family aged from 70 to 1 year old. We were kept entertained the whole way through the tour and the Soldier was absolutely accommodating by helping to carry a small pram up and down the steps. I would expect that he went out his way and it may not be a service normally provided. We had two young boys aged 4 and 6 and the 6 year old was a huge fan, until he learned how Romans used the toilet! In total, the tour took around 1 hour 30 minutes, would recommend you carry drinks with you, especially if it’s a hot day like we had. Would highly recommend, unless you use a wheelchair as parts are un accessible. A very interesting insight into the history of Chester.

Brilliant Roman Tour! - Great tour with "Marcus" around the streets of Chester. Loved exploring the basements of various shops to see Roman ruins (one of which is not open to the public). Our guide was seriously knowledgeable about the topic and really brought everything to life with props and costume - we loved it!!

Walking tour with Roman soldier - Very Interesting. Hard to hear guide sometimes and definitely more information than entertainment, so lost my 12yr olds interest.
