I liked the way the tour guide took us through the ages in central Chester from pre Roman almost to present day. I am a local but I learnt so much. Recommended value for money and fun.

Interesting introduction to Chester
P W, Mar 2026
A really fascinating tour of Chester with all its beautiful buildings, many churches and the city wall. Roland the guide was full of interesting facts and the 90 minutes whizzed by. I would definitely recommend it as an introduction to Chester.
