Overview

The Romans came, they saw, but they couldn’t quite conquer. After centuries of raiding, plundering, and fighting the ancient north of Britannia, they decided to build a wall.

But this isn’t just any wall, it’s an astounding achievement. It showcases the might of the ancient Roman Empire and illustrates how the Roman's interacted with tribal Britain.

This excursion takes you to the most interesting parts and lets you learn about Rome’s influence on Britain, while also giving you a chance to explore the gentle rolling hills of the borders, and visit an ancient abbey.

It’s perfect for anyone fascinated by the collision of cultures and quintessential British landscapes. No waiting for other passengers remember you call the shots this is Your Day, Your Way!

With Door to Door service from Edinburgh along with complimentary Bottled Water and Wi-Fi Access you truly are getting that First Class experience the Scottish Way.

I booked this trip as a special gift to my father who has been talking about going to Hadrian’s Wall for my entire life. I spoke multiple times with the tour operator and was under the impression that this would be a guided tour with someone that was very knowledgable about the wall. I’m not sure what happened but our tour guide ended up being a professional driver who drove around to a few spots and had zero knowledge of the wall or the history behind it. He was a very nice gentleman, accommodating, got us around well and very interested in learning as well but if you are looking for a professionally guided tour this probably isn’t it.

William is such a great tour guide. This was the second time we were fortunate enough to spend a fantastic day with him. William is very personable and knowledgeable. He is very accommodating and helped customize this tour based on our personal preferences in order to maximize our enjoyment of the trip. On future trips to Scotland, I will definitely ask for William!
