I thought I would try this as no ghost tours through the week. Myself and my family really enjoyed the audio ghost tour.
This was an excellent way...

This was an excellent way to see Chester in a different way and I would definitely recommend doing this walk once the sun has gone down and there are less crowds

Fascinating. I like the tale of sarah and the fact that you see so many distinct features and interesting places. Good tour easy to follow. Not sure if its just today but the gate down the side of the chapel was locked and shut.
Good tour

I found this tour very interesting, the guide was informative. I also liked the fact you could stop and start it. Chester is a beautiful city to walk around and has history everywhere you look. The tour takes you to some interesting sites like the City wall

Clever technology. Good attention to detail and a little expedition around Chester. Our 14 and 16 yr old we’re not as enthralled as the adults. But they are a tricky customer these days :-)
