This is a great way to see the main sights of Chester and hear its fascinating history. The bus stops at all the main places. You can upgrade your bus ticket to go on the river trip too. Well worth the money. Highly recommended.

I must say the tour was looong overdue. Been living in Chester for a year and hadn’t given myself time to explore it. Had a great experience, so much to see and do in Chester. I liked how the commentary was in sync with the tour. There’s nothing confusing like commentary that narrates something totally different from what you seeing but the driver made sure all was flowing. Thanks to the tour I got to know about the boat parties

We sat on the upper deck which probably made the experience for us, as obviously being higher more could be seen. It's also not a long tour so that gives you more time to enjoy the beautiful city of Chester. A very informative tour too. Well worth a trip !

A great way to see Chester city centre and learn the city’s history. Tickets were bought online - it would have been useful to have the bus itinerary online too. We only managed to find the bus as one of the stops was close to our hotel.

There was a long wait for a bus, but once we were on it, it was good. The commentary was pre-recorded and very clear, and at one point the driver came and told us a bit more about some of the buildings we were looking at. The only negative was that it was a little pricey for what it was.

STUNNING AND INFORMATIVE
PETER_C
, Sep 2020
We always find the best way to see a city or town is with the hop on, hop off bus and this was no exception. The bus ride did some figure eights, so that you saw some of the buildings from different angles. This is a great way to get your bearings and decide where you want to go back and have a better look, or get off and get back on later. The narration was excellent and informative. Due to the fact that you went through areas twice, the narration described one side going one way and the other side on your return. The drive was very smooth and not rushed at all. The price was reasonable. I would highly recommend this trip.
