    We 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.

    I 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!

    Excellent 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.
