    Enjoyed the entire experience with guide William. Highlight for me was the Vindolanda stop with the ongoing excavations of an outpost that predates Hadrian's Wall!

    A lot of travel, although the guide, Jim Scott made it enjoyable with a lot of interesting information. Word of loved more time at Vindolanda, but I understand the limited timeline. Lots of walking so be aware good shoes in water are a must. Tired at the end of the day but well worth it and very enjoyable.

  • A view into the Roman soldier life on the wall Hadrian
