Highlight of our European trip, Kevin is a very knowledgeable and personable guide. We learnt a lot and thoroughly recommend him. Many thanks.

Difficult to pick out the single most memorable part. It was all very good, from the introductory talk through a walk along a stretch of the Wall to fascinating visits to the two forts of Vindulanda and Housesteads where Kevin brought the places to life with his knowledge and explanations.

Thank you for your very kind review. Best wishes, Kevin

This is a must see!

I would recommend this tour to everyone and it should be ones bucket list. The tour guide was great!! Our only complaint was that after we arrived at the meeting place via taxi, we were not aware of having to provide our own transport to the next two locations of the tour. Our tour guide quickly contacted a taxi service and quickly remedied the situation for us. The tour and the sites were unbelievable. We had a great day.

Hi Barbara. Thank you for your kind review of the tour and for your feedback in reference to the transport. Customer feedback is very important to us so we can continually improve our visitor experience. As you booked the tour via a booking agent, I have checked through the tour description listed on their website. Although transport is shown as not included it is not as obvious as it could be. I have contacted the booking agent and requested that they amend the tour description so this is more clearly visible. Once again thank you for your feedback. It was a pleasure to show you Hadrian's Wall. Best wishes, Kevin

Kevin, was awesome! To be honest, 7 hours was a little much for some members of my family. But Kevin was flexible and helped us out all along the way. His knowledge was vast and descriptions brought history to life.
