Chester - A Beautifully City to Visit

Published on May, 2025

The guide was very informative and went out of her way to be helpful, and took us to parts of buildings we would not have seen. The only thing I will say is the tour is not long enough and rather rushed, an extra half an hour to an hour would have made a big difference as there is so much to see and to appreciate. And the weather was excellent, sunny all day with just blue skies.

Excellent overview

Published on May, 2025

Concise overview of Chester’s history and excellent choice of buildings to give examples of the changes through time

It was a really nice walking tour, our guide Caroline was very friendly and very well informed about the history of the city and its background. It was a very peaceful afternoon

Informative and Enjoyable.

Published on May, 2025

An interesting and well-paced tour. Caroline provided lots of information and answered a variety of questions in a friendly and knowledgeable manner. We learnt much about Chester's history from local and domestic stories to the city's role in our nation's history. Definitely recommended.
