It’s with a sad heart that we received news today that Don aka Dontus passed away in June losing his battle to cancer.
Don was a great tour guide and was able to do what we all do here at Roman tours which is bring history back to life for all ages be it school tours or public tours which is shown by his reviews on tripadvisor. Dis Manibus Dontus you will be missed

Ever wonder what a Celtic nobleman from the year 400 BC looked like? Thanks to archeological finds, it is possible to reconstruct the attire someone like this might’ve worn. AW VI.6 has the details: https://www.karwansaraypublishers.com/products/issue-vi-6-2012

Well ladies and gentlemen today marks 28 years that Roman tours has been operating. In those years we have done and achieved so much from seeing 30,000 school kids a year coming to Chester for educational tours and seeing nearly the same numbers for our public tours.

We have organised the biggest Roman festival in the U.K. seeing 164 Romans come to Britain the biggest number since the invasion in 43AD

Our team has run with the Olympic torch as it went though east gate street

We have been part of the Queen jubilee celebrations and the lighting of the beacons for her.

We have been part of weddings, meet and greats for the like of the British musuem and virgin trains bring knowledge joy and entertainment for all.

We are now seeing the creation of the family dream of the Roman fort at park in the past and the continue success
Of that dream and of our medieval tours in Chester.

All of this was achieved by the hard work and sacrifice that Harston family has done and by the team though out the years and their hard work dedication to the job.

Thank you all for your constant support though the years and here’s to many years to come 🍻

Below is selection of photos over the years of what we have done over the years
