Overview

Our Private Roman Britain & Hadrian's Wall Tour is the perfect opportunity for small groups of friends or family to enjoy their very own Private Tour. Our luxury, spacious 16 seater Mercedes tour bus will allow you to travel the Wall in style.

This tour journeys along segments of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Hadrian’s Wall tour travels out of the Lake District for the day and up to the Scottish Borders. The main focus of the day is the ‘Wall’ which we travel along exploring its remains of towers and landmarks.

During your day you will have time to enjoy the Roman Army Museum, exploring the history of the Romans and learning what it was like to work on the ‘Wall’. Following this you will visit Vindolanda, a Roman settlement, one of Europe's largest excavation sites and is still being worked on today.
