Excellent self guided tour

Published on Aug, 2024

Excellent self-guided tour. Lots of written or audible information on many aspects of Chester. Loved the links to YouTube for extra info if you wanted it. Also links to Google or Apple Maps were really appreciated and made it easy to find our way around. Saw many parts of a Chester I had no idea existed even though I’ve been here many times. Highly recommend.

Great Day in Chester

Published on Jan, 2024

I loved this self-guided walking tour! It was easy to use and so informative. I switched back and forth between audio and text. The recommendations were helpful, too. I had lunch at The Ship Inn after crossing the Dee the first time. It gave me the freedom to wander, then it was easy to get back on track whenever I was ready.
