Here’s what one recent guest had to say:
“We had a wonderful tour of Chester with Malc! Every single stop was delicious and offered something different and unique.
We started with a gorgeous Turkish meze platter at ‘Pars Kahve‘ (100% recommend the pistachio coffee), then onto ‘The Cheese Shop‘ (we learnt so much at this stop too!). Then we went to one of my favourite places to eat in Chester ‘Pierogi‘, had a gin tasting at the Cathedral and topped it off with a wonderful dessert at ‘Pastry Pedaleur‘, which I loved so much I returned to next day to with my friends!
I would recommend this tour to both anyone visiting Chester and to locals too. We have always lived nearby and been to Chester countless times but we learnt so much from the tour and discovered new food gems to visit.”
