Discover Chester

Hop on, hop off our Open Top Buses in Chester - From Saturday 4th April to 26th September 2026.

We are excited to once again welcome you on board our Open Top Buses and show you the City's best sights.

No city in Britain is richer in terms of archaeological and architectural treasures than Chester.

We offer great value tickets for travelling on bus, such as our £5 Chester in a hour ticket (Single ticket) along with our 24 hour hop on hop off day ticket giving you plenty of time to take travel on our open-top bus to see the local attractions. You can see the sights and sounds of Chester from the top deck, where you’ll enjoy 360 panoramic views of Chester and its surroundings. Plus, you can simply buy your tour ticket direct from your bus driver when you're in Chester!

Why not take a wander along the River Dee or catch a river cruise. You can buy a combined bus and river ticket from our driver!

Take time to enjoy the tour at Chester Cathedral and then discover more rich history of the city with a stop off at the ancient Roman Amphitheatre.

Our tour also stops at the famous Chester Racecourse where there are often more than just horse races to enjoy!

There are historical exhibits at the Grosvenor Museum and the Cheshire Military Museum too. Or make the stop at County Castle.

If the outdoors is on your list you can simply stroll through Grosvenor Park or why not book a show in the open-air theatre.

Shopaholics can stop off at Frodsham Street and find the Mall and Grosvenor Shopping centre.
