A True Storyteller - Thomas was such an engaging and endearing guide this this highly educational and wonderful tour! We had this tour on a monday in the off-peak season which is a big ask, but he was so delighted to be out with us from the start. No mater what question asked he had a bright grin and a ready answer. He loves history and it shows in how much he knows about the area and the medieval history. He was so engaging with his story telling, he involved us all in it and made it real, pitting his crowd against each other in such a unique fashion it had us all laughing one minute and shaking our fists at each other the next! I myself was King Richard who loathed the dastardly Bolingbroke, who that day was a charming and apologetic American on an outing with his very sweet family. I never cared for history in school or in those educational tv shows but this was so outside how we usually consume the past I would highly recommend it even to someone who isn't invested in the past. You will be whisked up in the events of the dramas of by-gone years with Thomas' easy and lovely demeanour.

Engaging historical tour - This tour was informative and entertaining. Thomas struck a good balance between giving the right amount of information and asking and answering questions. Some really interesting information about the longbowmen. I am inspired to find out more about the Battle of Shrewsbury and Henry IV. Thank you Thomas

A fun and fascinating historical tour of Chester! - My girlfriend organised this for the two of us for valentine's day. Apparently no one else had this idea so we had the tour to ourselves! Our tour guide/Cheshire longbowman/personal bodyguard, Thomas, was dressed the part and gave us a view of Chester that was both fun and detailed! Not knowing anything about the history of Chester previously, but being from nearby Shrewsbury, I came away with a new appreciation of it's importance! Would definitely recommend this experience, even if you don't get Thomas to yourself!

Fascinating insight into Chester’s history - We met Richard, our guide and despite being the only people on the tour we set off to learn more about Chester, and Englands medieval history. Fascinating with a knowledgeable guide who was happy to answer questions. Would recommend for all the family

Fact and Fun Tour - Thomas the medieval Cheshire longbow man travelled through time to guide us around Chester. Historic facts about Chester and rebellion told by a genuinely interesting guide. The tour was a highlight and I would highly recommend booking the tour. Thank you Thomas , May your arrows fly true .

Great authentic tour - I was happy to be the only person in tour and despite the rainy weather received a great experience of city walk and bunch of stories about twisted intrigues around medieval Cheshire.

Chester's History through the eyes of its famous longbowmen. - We went in not knowing exactly what to expect. I'm a fan of medieval history but not very well versed in British history since I'm from Italy. So even given my lack of knowledge, the tour was very interesting. Thomas is a very driven and passionate fellow, who knows his stuff and is ready to engage and explain the historical and more human side of the events that made Chester a relevant part of the late Middle Ages. The whole tour is though out and acted, in a way, through the eyes of the average peasant and what was it like to be a lowborn longbowman. Thomas was fully dressed as a longbowman of the period and, throughout the tour, he would also showcase the relevant equipment, making it a lot more "immersive" if you will. Overall great experience and our stay in Chester wouldn't have been the same without it.

Very enjoyable, well paced tour - Very enjoyable, well paced tour. The guide Thomas was very knowledgeable and informative and not remotely disconcerted by only having one customer on this particular tour. Would definitely recommend as an enjoyable introduction to Chester's history.

Impressive tour by Thomas - Thomas is clearly an experienced tour guide, very welcoming and a really nice chap. I went on this tour yesterday and turned out to be the only one there, it was not awkward at all, made to feel very welcome and it was tailored to me. Great interaction and a very knowledgeable guide. 10/10 would recommend to anyone considering the tour!

Guide who loves his subject - Thank you to Thomas for what turned out to be a private tour for me and my dad. Our guide brought the Hotspur Rebellion to life for us and clearly loves medieval history. I was most surprised to discover how old the rows were having always thought they were Tudor!
