Very informative and interesting. The guide was excellent
A superb experience.
MrJMitchell, Apr 2026
An absolutely superb experience. our tour guide Caroline was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Caroline was willing to answer all of our questions and answered them fully explaining in every detail. I would highly recommend this tour, it offers an insight to Chester that we would not have got walking around ourselves.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your fantastic review. It's lovely to hear that you had a superb experience on The Heart of Chester Walking Tour. I'm delighted that you thought my in-depth knowledge made such a positive impression. I take pride in trying to make sure every question is answered thoroughly, so it’s wonderful to hear that this stood out during your tour. It means a lot that you’d recommend the experience and that it offered you insights into Chester that you wouldn’t have discovered on your own—that’s exactly what I aim to provide.
A great 6 person tour.
