We had a wonderful tour with Phil. Highly recommend - Phil was so informative and took us to places in the centre of Chester that we would never have known about. Phil is a fantastic and knowledgeable guide and we would highly recommend this tour. Judy & Joan

Wonderful way to get a historical perspective on the city. It was nice to actually get up into the Rows and hear about the merchants back in time.

I did the 90 minutes tour with Caroline, I highly recommend also for not fluent English speakers as she speaks very slowly and she's very easy to understand.

We enjoyed a private walking tour with Yvonne Kirk, Green Badge Guide. She met us at our hotel and from there we walked part of the city walls, beside the River Dee and through part of the main city. Yvonne was brimming with interesting historical facts and it was the best way to explore Chester and get our bearings. She really knew her stuff and was fun and engaging throughout. We highly recommend her and would definitely book again.

A wonderful way to learn about the history and buildings at the heart of Chester. Our guide was fun, well informed and very enthusiastic. We have a much better appreciation of the city and its history. Starting with the Roman ruins beneath a coffee shop was fab!

It was one of the best tours we ever had in UK. Although living in this country for few years, we never knew that Chester had this much history in its background. We forgot the cold weather and thoroughly enjoyed the walk through the city centre along with our tour guide, Caroline. She was extremely good and had a thorough knowledge of history, which made our trip enjoyable and worthwhile. I strongly recommend her to anyone who plans to visit Chester.
