View on Google MapsSuperb tour at ridiculously good value at just £12 pp for 90 minutes of excellent entertainment. This tour was not only informative and took us into sites which we would otherwise have never known existed but was done in a very entertaining and fun manner. Kieran/Marcus was a perfect guide.
Excellent tour, full of fascinating facts and insights into Roman Chester. Guide Julius was a young and very knowledgeable historian. Highly recommended.
We had a fascinating tour with Marcus, he shared a wealth of knowledge with us and really brought roman Chester to life for us. I will strongly recommend this tour to friends and family.

Fascinating walk following the history of the Romans. Guide was very knowledgeable and quiet a character. Wouldn't recommend for people who have problems walking, but the time flew by. Well worth the experience!
Marcus (Kieran) was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. He was friendly and attentive and one of the best guides we have had on a walking tour. The tour itself was extremely short and felt like it only scratched the surface of what could be covered. What the tour did cover was very interesting and things we would not have found by ourselves, but it really only was a few locations where walking tours I've been on in other towns and cities have been far more comprehensive.
We went on two tours with Julius today, one being this Roman tour. We got to learn about so many fascinating stories that you wouldn’t know from just simply walking around Chester, with our guide being engaging all throughout. Couldn’t recommend enough!
Enjoyed a very interesting and informative tour of Roman Chester this afternoon with Optio Marcus. He was engaging, funny, and full of enthusiasm, guiding the group around the extant remains of the ancient fortress. It was a real treat to see the Principia columns under the cafe! Marcus also told us about his custom-made legionary kit, and we were able to handle reproduction and real artefacts. A great tour, well worth your time - I have a PhD in ancient history and was thoroughly entertained - and even learned something new!

Our guide Marcus (real name Kieran) gave us a superb insight into the 400yrs occupation of Chester by the Romans. His enthusiasm, insight and knowledge combined with his open and friendly approach enabled us to learn so much about the history of Chester. Being dressed in a replica Roman outfit surprisingly helped us all imagine the Roman occupation. Highly recommended - we learned so much from our tour guide, despite having previously visited Chester numerous times before.
Great tour with an amazing guide dressed as a Roman soldier. My guide was very friendly and passionate about Roman (and Welsh:-) history . Thank you for this memorable tour.
