Gladiator experience - Took our grandson, age 7, to learn more about the Romans as he is absolutely fascinated by them. He dressed up as a gladiator too and loved every minute of the tour. Mike was our gladiator guide and was so knowledgeable and interesting and involved our grandson so much. It was brilliant. Highly recommend.

Excellent Roman Tour - As a Chester resident, I’ve been meaning to do this tour for years and hugely please I’ve finally done it. I went with 2 children aged 6 and 9 and another adult, and we all loved it. Our guide Scipio explained everything ver well, and was just the right amount of ‘entertaining’. Highly recommend.
