We thoroughly enjoyed our walk in York! We had very little time in the city and it was then great when Alex booked us in on a tour where Dudley then took us on an "exploration" of the city as he called it. We saw a huge amount of sights and heard lots about the history of the city! Really awesome two hours! Thanks!

We arrived at chester bus station and was greeted by the extremely friendly and helpful Peter. We had been unable to print our tickets but peter was more than happy to help us redeem them and reccomend other things to do, such as the boat ride up the Dee, which we also did. Peter is an excellent representative of your company. As a pro tip, the boat tickets where also cheaper by booking through the bus, which is helpful for those who like to mix up their activities throughout the day. Our little one (1 yr old) loved the open bus tour and giggled her way through. I enjoyed the interesting facts on the tour and it was a lovely sunny day, which also helped! We hoped off and on the bus at different spots, such as town centre and pier. The busses where frequent and great for some of the tourist spots. We happened to get back on the bus after our boat ride and met peter again, who was his normal friendly self. We rode the bus around 1.5 times and finished our tour at chester bus station. The route is Excellent for the park and ride busses that stop right next to the sightseeing bus. The bus also stops at the train station, so handy access for anyone who travels in to Chester by public transport. The tour took around 50min per loop, with around 20-30mins between each bus.
3. Canterbury Cathedral and Leeds Castle Private Full Day Tour
Another great day trip from London is to the heart of great English heritage, Canterbury, with its cathedral and bucolic streets and the streams where you can enjoy punting right in the heart of lovely English countryside. Canterbury, a medieval town, still has its old town walls and has not changed much in over 700 years. Just like thousands of pilgrims did before, Canterbury is a pilgrimage destination after Thomas Becket’s murder whilst he was praying. After lovely Canterbury, you will head towards the picturesque Leeds Castle, through green, untouched Kent countryside with narrow lanes, hectares of land, huge lovely houses and total privacy. That is the dream that some of the most beautiful villages in Kent offers. It housed Kings and Queens and was used for government conferences and romantic private weddings in modern times. It's great to explore everything and travel through history in such beautiful surroundings. A great day out experience is waiting for you. Just join us!
