Great history lesson - Did this tour with a couple of pals it was a fascinating insight into life in Chester in Roman times. Although the tour lasted over 2 hours the pace was quite gentle so not too exhausting! The guide was very knowledgeable and made what could have been as dry as dust come to life. Well worth doing if like me you like to know the history of places you go to.

Excellent history tour - We did this tour as a family with two young children (ages 5 and 7). The soldier tour guide was engaging, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. The tour was really fun and interesting, and was great value for money. Highly recommend taking part, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

What the romans did - Think you know chester - think again. my tour through the beautiful city of chester was filled with roman history from start to finish, some discovered as recently as 2022! Even my recent, puzzling dna test was explained to me. Julius, my guide, not only looked like a roman, for the duration of tbe tour he WAS a roman - of the 20th legion. We are chester - we are rome

Learnt a lot - We went with Lucious, at least I think that is what he was called. We learnt a lot and we thought we knew about the Romans. I would recommend this tour for all Mary Beard fans. Lucious was great, clear and easy to follow and delivered his script well.
