Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the Roman house, the surrounding area, and what it meant to be a Roman centurion. He was willing to pose for pictures and answered questions readily. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone.

Did this tour in September 2020. The tour was very detailed and Callum knew his stuff. There was a good variety of sites and some good additional information. The Roman military uniform was a wonderful addition, no surprise Callum knew all the details of its design and provenance. He also provided some information on other sites nearby.

Excellent walking tour recommend to anyone ,but where were you?,happily for us we got a private tour as there was no one else booked, we had such a well informed and interesting guide,many interesting looks at we three as our guide was in full roman military costume throughout the walk of just over an hour,a gentle walk at a decent pace that would suit any age, ending at the roman town house. My regret was we couldn't get to the Roman cooking class but maybe next visit.
