Excellent walking Tour - We had an amazing city walking tour of Chester which was extremely interesting and informative. It was a rather wet and windy day but our guide remained really helpful and friendly and apologised for the weather. The weather didn’t spoil anything! Great tour of Chester!

Excellent tour of Chester - My friend and I went on the guided tour with Caroline we went to places we wouldn’t have done and she was very knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting, my friend even enjoyed it although it’s not her cup of tea, it makes a place come alive when you learn the history of it through a guide. Thank you Caroline

Bespoke and Brilliant - Have just come off a bespoke tour of a very historical quarter of Chester with Caroline. What a knowledgeable and very personable guide who brought to life the 'bricks and mortar' with stories relatable to the human history. The pace of the tour was very relaxed and in keeping with the group (which was 'read well' by Caroline and was then used proactively to provide interest and relevance). Thoroughly recommend Caroline as a tourist guide for Chester.

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.
