Amazing tour! We did the walking tour in Spanish with Beatriz. Super complete and interesting tour. It was easy to notice how passionate she is about the city! In addition, Chester is beautiful and fascinating.

An unforgettable experience! We did the tour in Spanish with Beatriz, who is the best tour guide I have ever come across. Warm, friendly, very entertaining, energetic and has the best facts about the history of the city and interesting places to see. Plus, she takes the time to answer all your questions and even helps you taking photos!! Chester is a beautiful town, with a lot of history, that you cannot miss on your trip to England.

We were very fortunate to have Beatriz as our blue badge guide. She really brought the Roman, Medieval, Civil War and Victorian history of the city to life. We were able to ask lots of questions, which Beatriz was able to answer and expand on. We felt she helped us see the city with fresh eyes and gave us a new perspective on its wide range of architecture. It was a really fun and fascinating 2 hours amid the unexpected but lively crowds who had assembled in bright sunshine for the Chester Half Marathon. In exchange for all her wealth of knowledge, we were only able to help her with her pronunciation of Tudor (chew- da)!

Beatrix was very informative and gave us a very friendly and enjoyable tour. We'd definitely recommend

The tour guide, Michael Bird, was not only knowledgeable about the history of Chester but was enthusiastic and obviously enjoyed showing people his favourite places and connecting us to the centuries of lived lives in Chester. It was a good gentle pace and we were always invited to ask questions. We had someone on the tour who’d lived 30 years in Chester and found out new snippets to enjoy, as well as us new visitors who found it fascinating . It was a good way to feel connected to the city.

A small group of 7 with our guide Beatrice gave us a terrific insight into Chester, taking us to areas we didn't even know existed. The tour including around sections of the wall supported by stories & facts from Beatrice gave us an appreciation of the Chester history in a fun way too :-)

Beatriz was a great guide. He showed us every corner of the walled area and we discovered the charm of this beautiful city. Very pleasant and told us many super curious details. Of course we already know how to differentiate well which houses are Real Tudor!!
