My husband's birthday present and it put a massive smile on his face, and mine seeing him so happy. He loves history. We always do a walking tour when possible wherever we go. A great way of finding out about the area from local experts. Been to Chester lots of times and for some reason haven't done one to date... until now. This one was a very special as we had our very own Roman soldier guiding us. He definitely draws the attention of the crowds. Markus (aka Kieran). He was awesome, he knows his stuff and shares it in a wonderful way. 2 hours went very quickly. We learned so much and got a real good feel as to how the Romans lived. Thank God we no longer live in those times is all I will add. Highly recommended.
KIERAN IS AWESOME ⚔️🗡👑

Had such an amasing tour with kieran ! I booked it as a birthday present for my partner and didnt expect it to be so good .. kieran really made the experience fun .. and rememorable ... we loved it. We were so lucky to get kieran as our tour guide he was so enthusiastic and knowledgable we enjoyed talking to him and learned a lot as well. I loved the fact he made so much effort with his outfit as well it was really authentic and carefully made and along with some artifacts showed us it really transported us to another time! Thank you so much kieran xx
