2000 years ago this was a frontier, a place where two cultures collided. Your guide can happily weave a narrative from both the Roman perspective and the native perspective, providing both viewpoints.

The Romans always intended to conquer Britain. Julius Caesar wrote about the riches of the British Isles... and also of giants and monsters. While Caesar made initial contact with the peoples of Britain, a full scale invasion would take another 90 years. Political turmoil in Rome was the catalyst for the new emperor, Claudius to bring his forces to the shores of Britain, changing the country forever.

    Taking a walk along part of Hadrian's Wall one could imagine what it might have looked like in AD122. Kevin described so clearly how it was constructed, what it looked like and how the Romans lived in the fort and village in Vindolanda. Fascinating! Great experience!

  • Awesome Guide and Tour

    The tour was as described and more. Kevin was great, more than just knowing his stuff, he had passion for the history and awe at the artifacts displayed at the museum. It was a very personalized tour, he slowed to our pace and was very attentive. We disembarked from a cruise and Kevin referred us to a taxi company (Haydon Taxis) that knew the somewhat complex itinerary (two locations) which made the whole tour worry free.

  • Amazing few hours , strongly recommend
