We had a wonderful tour with Gerry {Busy Bus Tours} to Chester from Liverpool. Gerry was very knowledgeable about all the history in Chester as well as on the trip from Liverpool. He did a walking tour with us on arriving in Chester pointing out the more interesting sites and telling us the history before giving us some time to explore things on our own. He was very accommodating to a disabled person on a scooter making sure she could see all she wanted to. Later, back in Liverpool, he was kind enough to drop me off at the post office so I could post my cards. Thank you, Gerry for a wonderful day!

We had an excellent time with Adrian our driver/guide and our time in Chester. The mini-bus was very comfortable and all 14 passengers had room to sit and spread out if needed. Adrian gave us lots of information on our drive from Liverpool to Chester and we could all hear him clearly as he used a headset microphone. Once in Chester, we had about a 1 hour walking tour and Adrian took us to the Roman Garden, the coliseum, and then we walked part of the old Roman City walls. After our walking tour was over, we had 2.5 hrs to explore the city on our own. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Chester and I highly recommend Busy Bus.

The tour was canceled with no notice. We were given a longer tour for no extra cost BUT I had wanted to do other things in Liverpool Ironically the only other comment was about a cancelled tour. Is this a pattern? What is “operational difficulties?”

Unable to share our story as we were totally let down. We were advised the night before our trip was cancelled. Lucky we checked our emails that evening or we would have been standing looking for the driver for hours. No time to look for another tour. Thanks a lot La Vacanza Travel.

Busybus canceled at the last minute. I have seen other reviews that say the same thing. They were rude and couldn’t understand why I was upset waiting at the terminal (with others who were in the same position) with nothing to do
