Interesting - Found it easy to get the bus as we had our tickets and weren’t held up just straight on the bus, outside Chester station where we alighted

Great Way to See Chester - Driver was very welcoming and informative. Ensured we understood how the hop on-hop off worked and how to request a stop.

Enjoyable HOHO bus trip! - We took a combined HOHO and river boat trip in Chester recently. We were very lucky with the weather so it was pleasant to sit in the open part of the upper deck. Commentary is via loudspeakers rather than the usual headphones, and was clear and audible. The driver was friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed our bus ride!

Saved from a 1* review - Our first impression of the facility was poor as 3 different attempts to make contact about non arrival of the bus met with a negative response. Later in the day we were successful in finding a designated stop and the bus arrived on time. Very favourably impressed with the driver and the accompanying recorded tour guide was excellent. Spoke very clearly and the reduced price for seniors made this an excellent experience.

Overcharged when bought it - Good Service with onboard commentary. Was overcharged when purchased as I was sent a link with payment listed in Dollars and was charged an extra 20p

Happy Hop-On and Off - First class friendly service. Highly recommended - it was our first visit to Chester and starting from the bus station [itself first class] found the trip with its excellent commentary gave us a good feel for the city. We even went back for another trip!

Save your money - What a waste of money. It’s far better walking it. It basically covers the main bus route. Chester is ti small for this to be honest
