Wonderful insight of Roman Chester - Wonderful tour! Very interesting insight of Roman Chester and Roman culture; also highly engaging and entertaining. We felt very privileged to be taken to secret reserved parts of the city and even to experience ancient artefacts. Our Roman soldier guide (Lucius) was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Highly recommended!!
