Two sets of summer tours will throw the spotlight on Gloucester's 2,000 years of history.
Both based around a Roman 'theme' the first tour will take people under the City streets into the Eastgate Chamber - outside Boots in Eastgate Street - while the second tour will be a leisurely stroll around the City itself.
Both take place during July and August and are organised by the City Council's museum service.
The Eastgate Chamber tours will take place at 12pm every Wednesday with visitors meeting at the nearby City Museum. Lasting around 30 minutes they will give a close up look at substantial pieces of Roman Wall that contain murals that depict how and why the wall was built. The chamber also contains a section of the City's medieval wall – a gate tower dating back to the 1250s.
Tickets priced at £3 for adults and £2 concessions (over 60s) with under fives free, can be purchased on the day at the museum.
The Roman Gloucester tours take place every second Friday at 11.30am and (starting July 5) led by Civic Trust Guides. They will be a leisurely stroll around Gloucester with important Roman features pointed out along the route. Tickets are priced at £4 adults, £3 concessions (over 60s) with Under fives free and can be purchased at the City Museum on the day.
Council Leader Paul James, commented: " Gloucester was a 'colonia' and enjoyed the highest status in the Empire. The history is fascinating and both of these tours will certainly be worth doing. Residents and visitors alike are sure to learn a lot."
