About The Tour

Take a gentle stroll through Chester’s historic heart before unwinding with traditional Afternoon Tea at Chester Cathedral. It’s a laid-back, small-group experience that blends stories, sights and a timeless British treat — with all food and drink included.

You’ll wander past Roman walls, the Eastgate Clock and the timber-framed Rows as your local guide brings the city’s past to life. The route is short and unhurried, ideal for a calmer pace or a special occasion.

Then it’s time to indulge: delicate finger sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream and jam, and a selection of sweet treats, served with your choice of fine teas (or coffee) in the stunning Cathedral setting.

This is one of the most relaxing of our Chester food tours. Perfect for couples, friends and families looking for something elegant and easy-going. Vegetarian options are available; please tell us about any dietary needs when you book.
