Traveler reviews
Best way to see Chester in one day!
This was one of the best investments on our recent trip. The tour stops were great and the commentary was very informative. We were able to hop on and off at several very convenient places of interest and then easily resume our trip. Chester is a beautiful and historic city and this is the best way to see it!
2 Old Gal's touring around.
Very interesting stories on the loudspeaker, clear and easily understood. The drivers are impressive, their driving skills are superb. For £8 (we're OAP's) this was a perfect way to see the sights, at a very reasonable cost. We WILL be back and we WILL have another go round as we haven't seen enough.
Good overview of Chester in a short amount of tome
A good overview of the City. A lot of information and recorded commentary per minute. It makes it hard to take it all in. Not always fluid and sometimes gets interrupted before the end to sync with location. I also found it wasnt too easy to know where the stops vs where we were at. An app with dynamic location on a map would be useful. All this said, it is a good formula if you don’t have a lot of time to visit.
Good driver informative...
Good driver informative commentary good value interesting city nice clean and modern bus short cruise good idea
The best way to see the city of Chester, Sam was our friendly driver.
The Hop on Hop off bus in Chester was a great way to see the city and get an insight to the place. The commentary was not too invasive or loud. I liked the choice of either doing the Hop on Hop , or just ride to whichever stop we wanted along the way as a on-off journey (this was best for us and we did do the whole tour in one go, this option is a bit cheaper £6, I think? £4 for concessions) I MUST highlight Sam, our driver, as he was so friendly and took the time to explain all about the tour.
