Excellent! - We live locally and have visited Hadrian’s wall many times and thought we knew a lot of the history and geography. Were given this tour as birthday gift. Our guide Kevin was superb, so knowledgeable on Roman and old British history, military and political issues of those times, every day life. Highly recommended.

Friendly and knowledgeable guide, leisurely stroll - Very picturesque location for a great delve into history, and not just roman. Kevin can elaborate on many interesting details from the daily life of people on and around the wall, to the military intricacies of such a vast frontier. The tour works great for both history nerds and people who are just a bit curious, without any knowledge requirements. The are amazing views around the spot, and the tour gives you the time to soak them in between the informative discussions. Even better, this is not a heavy walking tour, but a nice stroll along a part of the wall. Would recommend it to anyone!

Chris B - Considering it was cold and wet the tour was great. We had most of the talking under the gazebo and then walked a little way to see the wall. Kevin was very interesting to listen to.
