The day tour was beyond excellent. Not only did Alex bring Hadrian’s Wall to life (especially Housesteads and Vindolanda and the rest of the Wall we visited with him), but also his enthusiasm, knowledge and readiness to discuss and debate it all in an open manner (not showing up our ignorance), while accommodating and helping disabled me where he could, was all second to none. Can't recommend him and his guidance highly enough.All three of us spent a whole day walking Hadrian’s wall. Alex was very informative and we found him very professional from beginning to the end. He really made the experience come to life. Next time we visit Northumberland we will go straight to Alex for the Newcastle History Tour. Highly rec...

This day tour with Alex was one of the highlights of our trip. We spent four days in total with Alex and this was incredible. He was flexible and slightly changed the schedule to accommodate a physical limitation of someone in our group. He put together a fantastic day for us. Vindolanda was a true gem. Without Alex they would have just been stones on the ground. He brought it to life and taught us so much we didn't know about the Roman period in Britain. Highly recommended!!Alexander is a fantastic tour guide. On short notice, Alexander scheduled a tour and hike of Hadrian's Wall. Although the weather was cold and rainy for our two mile hike next to the wall, Alexander was enthusiastic, polite, and upbeat throughout. We took photos next to the wall and the tree whe...
Alexander is a fantastic tour guide. On short notice, Alexander scheduled a tour and hike of Hadrian's Wall. Although the weather was cold and rainy for our two mile hike next to the wall, Alexander was enthusiastic, polite, and upbeat throughout. We took photos next to the wall and the tree where Robin Hood was filmed. We also toured the two Roman forts, but the highlight was Alexander sharing his knowledge of Roman military history while we drank beer next to the fire at the Twice Brewed Pub. If you want a tour from the quintessential English gentleman, then hire Alexander.Alex makes the Hadrian's wall hike fun and informative. He's really knowledgeable and suits the hiking pace to match the participants. He was extremely patient answering all of the questions I had beforehand. You will be in good hands!

Guides like the one we had for our Hadrian's Wall Day tour are the reason why the money spent on a guided experience is well worth the investment. Yes, we could have walked the wall, seen Vindolanda, stopped at the fort and read the posted signs but Hadrian's Wall came alive with the knowledge and experience that Alex has. When we had questions he had the answers - no waiting for Siri to tell us! It was all we hoped it would be. Start to finish it was a 5 star experience.
