My elderly mum and I enjoyed the tour of Chester and found the drivers friendly and the commentary interesting. The only complaint we have is that the map on the website had incorrect information on it. It stated that the journey would start at Stand B, whereas it was Stand J or K I think. We therefore missed the bus we wanted to take as we couldn’t get to the ‘new’ stand fast enough. Customer Services at the Chester Bus Exchange were helpful and confirmed the map online was out of date.

Informative and enjoyable but expected more history and information. It was very basic and lacked soul without a live guide. Very robotic.
