What a great tour. Very informative and delivered at a pace that suited all our special needs. Another brick in the wall tour was by far one of the best i've been on this year. The detail of how the romans built this wall. defended and then how it has been preserved for all to enjoy and marvel was astonishing.Thanks to our tour guide Steve. 5 stars.
Kev Green | UK
what an excellent tour. Very professionally done, with even detailed thought given to those who may find it somewhat lengthy. A fascinating deluge of information much of which I had up to now been unaware. Congratulations to all involved

Steve's clearly enunciated commentary is cleverly enhanced by various 'sound-bites' which do much to add to the atmosphere of this fascinatingly educational walkabout. Modern city life is almost relegated to a mere background hubbub as his voice transports you to Yesteryear. His suggestion to simply stand still for the 5 or 6 minutes close to the start was unexpectedly effective.
