Today we did a full day private tour of Hadrian's Wall with Alex, the owner of Iles Tours. We had the best time and learned so much. I wish I could give him a rating above 5 stars. The tour he gave us should be rated at a score of 100!!!! We went to several locations, including Housesteads and Vindolanda, to learn about the wall and the Romans. At each stop, Alex showed us unique features of the wall and forts. His knowledge of the entire area and history of the time period is incredible and he helped us learn so much about the period. We toured the museums in addition to walking the wall and as we toured, Alex explained each item in great detail. I wish more guides put this much study into their jobs. We have such a good understanding of the area thanks to Alex. If you want to learn about Hadrian's Wall, use this company and book a tour with Alex. The next time we're here, we definitely will do another tour with him. We're huge lovers of history and his tour went into so much depth that it was perfect!!!

We had a great day with Alex touring Landisfarne and Brambaugh Castle. Booking with Alex was super easy and he kept us informed about pick up and details for the day. Alex is incredibly knowledgeable and gave us big picture overviews along with tiny details that made the past come to life. He was attentive to our needs and interests and answered every question from local history to choices for dinner. I highly recommend Alex and Iles Tours.

We had a wonderful day at Lindisfarne and Bamburgh Castle! We had plenty of time to explore both and never felt rushed! Alex is a fabulous guide who answered our questions and pointed out so much that we would have missed entirely on our own. I highly recommend this tour.
