Considering it was cold and wet the tour was great. We had most of the talking under the gazebo and then walked a little way to see the wall. Kevin was very interesting to listen to.
We had a 4 day break in Haltwhistle as part of a 70th birthday present to my hubby. I booked this tour with Ancient Britain based on Tripadvisor and we were not disappointed. We turned up to meet Kevin, who was in full auxiliary dress from the Brigantes tribe. It was very impressive. He spent about 30 minutes explaining about his dress attire and giving facts on the Romans. He also brought props to talk us though. He made the chat interactive which was fun. Once we had been de-briefed he changed attire and took us on the tour along the wall. He made stops every so often - which catered for the older of the group - and gave us more and more detail to soak up. We were extremely lucky with the weather which made the tour even more pleasurable. Everyone was asking questions of which Kevin answered because he has such a vast and deep knowledge....he really made the group connect and imparted information that was easily digestible (even for those like me who are NOT Roman nuts :-) and extremely interesting. Definitely recommend.....you wouldn't get half the fun or pleasure without Kevin as a tour guide.
It was a very informative and interesting walk. The tour leader was very engaging and clearly knew his material. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Kevin was an amazing guide, a great story teller and full of fascinating information and insights in to the history of the wall and so much more. Really glad we took the tour!
Introductory talk full of so much information. Background info on tribes facing the Romans. At every step of the walk along the wall he gave so much info.
