Fascinating tour indeed! - Living in Chester, I never knew there was so much history just beneath our feet. It was really fascinating! Our guide was punctual and had a lot of puns to share to make it a nice day out!

From cafe basements to history - Never would expect some of the places this tour takes us and loved the energy and humour that the tour was lead with. It was factual, amusing and felt like an adventure the entire time, even with the grumbles of how badly our history has been treated throughout time.

Roman empire in Chester - It was an over view of life as a early roman soldier in Chester including his uniform, the trade he was taught, his wage, his personal hygiene, living quarters

Great tour especially in company with a 9 year old! - I went on this tour with my daughter (aged 9). The tour guide was a very quirky woman, she was knowledgeable and engaging. We really enjoyed it and it was just long enough. My daughter especially enjoyed it.

Best tour ever with a Roman Soldier - We joined the 12 noon Roman tour on 8.8.2025. We think our soldiers name was Julius if it wasn’t apologies. Anyway I brought my 8 year old grandson who absolutely loved it . I’ve been to Chester on several occasions but I learnt more yesterday than at any other time . Very nice small group of 8 . Content and knowledge excellent, ability to answer all questions excellent . Ability to hold the attention of both adults and children making it fun but good content again excellent . Really lovely , interesting day ! Thank you so much for involving the children not easy when walking round a city . Worth every penny . We didn’t like it we loved it 👍👍👍

Great tour guide girl! - What a lovely witty lady guide. This little girl is a beautiful American export and she is definitely Great Britains gain. The tour was fun, informative and witty and full credit to our lovely tour guide who made sure that we got the very best out of the experience.

Tour by Sarmatian woman in Chester - We were guided by the Sarmatian woman and the tour was great! A good mix of interesting facts and jokes in a really cool city with so much history. We got to see places that required a key and the whole tour was very well tied together.
