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

Entertaining - 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 :-)

A really interesting little walk, recommended 👍 - My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed this little ghost tour. Something you can do at your own pace but it took us just over an hour and that was at a casual pace. It's amazing that you can be directed round the route and it knows when to give the info and even tells you that you are off the route (even though I wasn't but hey, the lost function is there). It would be good if more sites could be added, I'm sure there are lots of spooky goings on in Chester. We definitely recommend this tour and suggest using headphones due to the traffic /town noise.

Ghostly excellence - A very informative, engaging and exciting tour. The instructions were clear and automatically stopped when we stopped for a drink. I would definitely recommend and would love to do it again at night.
