Traveler reviews
Lovely way to relax and explore at the same time!
What a brilliant way to see the city, and learn about the history! Also, perfect on a hot and sunny day. Lovely relaxing ride around the places we’d seen from the wall.
Great value.
Driver very friendly and efficient. Commentary was very informative without being intrusive mmm We have visited Chester on numerous occasions, but learned plenty we didn't know on this trip. Highly recommended and excellent value.
Well worthwhile
Thoroughly recommend this trip as it’s a great way to get a speedy overall view of the wonderful city and its history. We tied it in with a boat trip too which was decent value and masses of interesting commentary on both the river boat and the bus.
Buses don't turn up, they lie about the frequency, they promise refund for unused tickets then refuse. AVOID.
Nightmare from start to finish. Went to the website, on the website it states - 'Buses run hourly from April 5th to May 23rd and from September 1st to 28th. They run every half hour from May 24th to August 31st'. My date of travel being 29th June, so a bus every 30 minutes. Waited just under an hour, no bus has arrived. Phone the help number on the ticket, telephone number does not exist. Eventually after over an hour a bus arrives and driver tells me it's every hour and the details on the website are wrong. That was no good to me, so didn't do the tour, but as City Sightseeing offer a cancellation for tickets I contacted them for a refund on my unused ticket as advised by the driver. Now they refuse to refund me, refuse to acknowledge it states every 30 minutes on their website even though it clearly still does. Refuse to acknowledge the help number does not exist. This company is no more than a thief, selling you something by lying to you. Never again. Stay clear.
Great way to see cities
My wife has mobility issues so the best way to get around and see a city is a hop on hop off bus. The stops are always in the most popular places so we get to see everything pretty much worth seeing with as little walking as possible. We've done these buses in London, Prague, Rome, Barcelona, Liverpool and many other cities. You know exactly what you're getting. and good value for money. cant recommend them enough.
