Great to be able to sit and relax on the top deck overlooking all the sights and sounds of Chester. The audio commentary was clear and easily followed. What’s not to like?

A great way to see Chester

Easy to understand timetable and pick up locations. Commentary was clear and informative, shame it wasn't a live person talking instead of a recording like York, but understand this trip is a bit shorter and probably less busy :) overall, we would thoroughly recommend this as a thing to do in Chester - a great way to explore the city! Also our driver was very friendly too.
Very convenient and enjoyable

It was an exciting day out at Chester and the bus tour had made it even more fun, convenient and interesting due to the fact that we learnt so much about the city, its buildings, its history, its parks and all those places in the circuit that you wouldn't know had you not been in the city tour bus. Timing wise it was okay and maintained the schedule at every stop we hopped on. The drivers were nice and friendly. The flexibility of riding the bus anytime from any stop gave us a great opportunity to explore more in a short space of time. Would love to try this again in another city.
