4.00It was a good idea to take this self guided tour. For a cheap price it gave us some structure to our exploration of Chester and made sure we saw everything in an efficient way but at a pace we controlled
A well presented and detailed self guided tour

4.00Really quick and easy to access and download this guide, following the instructions provided. It included lots of detailed historical information about each location, presented in various media - audio, video clips, transcript and live map to follow using mobile and headphones. We did find the map a bit hard to follow at times.
A bit average

3.00We could do it in our own time which was good but the commentary lacked the story telling and human element I could get all the information off the internet I was expecting it to be more than historical facts.

4.00I had a amazing experience with this self-guided walking tour app in Chester. The app was easy to use, provided informative audio guides, and allowed me to explore the city at my own place of Chester. My Mum had an excellent walking tour of Chester where she learned all about the attractions and places of Chester during the walking tour and she loved it which she did the walking tour of Chester back in September 2023 last year and she loved it. Highly recommended!

5.00Excellent self-guided tour. Lots of written or audible information on many aspects of Chester. Loved the links to YouTube for extra info if you wanted it. Also links to Google or Apple Maps were really appreciated and made it easy to find our way around. Saw many parts of a Chester I had no idea existed even though I’ve been here many times. Highly recommend.

1.00I must have missed something somewhere. When I tried to upload the tour, none of the codes I found on my email would work. You are welcome for the donation.

5.00I loved this self-guided walking tour! It was easy to use and so informative. I switched back and forth between audio and text. The recommendations were helpful, too. I had lunch at The Ship Inn after crossing the Dee the first time. It gave me the freedom to wander, then it was easy to get back on track whenever I was ready.
Beautiful Chester at my pace
