Highly recommended - We wanted to explore Chester, and have never considered guided tours before. What a great decision that was. Phil our guide was super knowledgeable, and really provided a depth and insight that we never would have achieved on our own. He was friendly, approachable and beyond his historical knowledge, was willing to share his knowledge of places to eat and drink around the city.

I did the 90 minutes tour... - 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.
