Highlighted reviews from other travelers
My husband has been fascinated with Hadrian's wall and this tour offered a first hand view and in-depth knowledge of multiple sites on the wall. The excavated post and the museums revealed everyday details in the lives of the population of the wall. Our guide, Kieran, was the best! He played Irish music with commentary on the bus. A real cultural experience.
Stephen was an excellent guide and driver. His commentary was informative and entertaining and he really cared about the comfort and well being of his clients. We really enjoyed ourselves and had a marvellous day. I would thoroughly recommend this tour for history and scenery lovers. Amazing!
