I was on a Mountain Goat Tour of Hadrian's Wall with Derrick April 2024. I went on an all day trip with a guide named Derrick. He knew his history and was able to share his knowledge in a conversational way. I found him to be courteous and kind. Did a great job. The "bus" was a Mercedes Sprinter van type, clean and still had that new car smell. Big windows, excellent climate control. The sites visited were fascinating. We had time to get out and hike around them. We spent time in the museums and found the cafe in both to be excellent. I would recommend Mountain Goat Tours to anyone without reservation.

This is an unmissable tour if you are interested in Roman history or archeology. It's especially good if you don't have a car and still want to see Hadrian's Wall. Seeing Vindolanda was amazing. Duncan was a great guide!!! If you go in Spring, wear good footwear you don't mind getting muddy!

Had a really great day, Duncan our driver and tour guide was excellent, not only does he have extensive knowledge of Hadrians Wall, Lancercost Priory & Vindolanda but also the villages, towns and landscape we passed through on our journey to and from Hadrians Wall which I found really interesting and gave a real insight into how the Romans influenced the area. Driving past the lakes and beautful countryside went to making this a memorable day.

We went with mountain goat tours and our driver Duncan was amazing. He made the history come alive. We would recommend it to anyone. Well worth it!

I was surprised to see how much of the walls and associated forts remain, in ruins yes, but still there. Fascinating!

Veronica_H

The driver was so knowledgeable about the history of the Romans. The last destination of the Roman village was amazing. I would like to thank him as we all felt very safe with his driving. We asked him to drop us off in Ambleside as we booked a table at Lucy on a Plate, he only went and dropped us off outside the restaurant. How good was that.

I enjoyed the day. Derek was a good driver and very informative. I'm from Australia and have always wanted to see Hadrian's Wall - I'm very happy I picked this tour. It wasn't rushed, a very relaxing day. The Roman Museum was very well done and Vindolanda was amazing. Thankyou Derek for making this a great day. Sue.
