This is a really interesting Edwardian tour around key sites in Chester from an extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide who fully engages her audience. I am a resident of Chester and learned a lot. Definitely worth doing!

What a wonderful way of getting to know Chester and Isabel is so knowledgeable. We are only here for a day on our way home but thrilled we stopped over. Isabel took us to places where the public aren’t generally allowed and we learnt so much about why the Edwardians wanted Chester to look as if the buildings were built by the Tudors. But I’m not going to say anymore because you need to book your tour! Tickets are available from the tourist office. Thank you again

The Edwardian lady was charming and humorous. She injected the tour with interesting anecdotes and fascinating stories. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Eliza Dutton and In would highly recommend to anybody visiting the beautiful city of Chester.

Isabel is a most accomplished guide, who provides a fascinating insight into the women of the Edwardian era in Chester. Absorbing and compelling, you are thoroughly engaged from the start by a combination of enthusiasm and knowledge delivered in the most absorbing manner. Your attention does not wander, not for a minute as you absorbed by the story. This is a highly recommended tour, one not to be missed; it brings a new dimension to the city as we see it through the eyes of the Edwardian Lady!
