Interesting and informative tour. It takes around one and a half hours and is really nicely paced. James our tour guide was lovely and very knowledgeable (being a local for... read more quite a few years) Who knew there was so much history in this little ‘city’

  Well worth joining whether you are visiting or a resident. Our guide, John, was enthusiastic and knowledgeable bringing the history of the city to life. The Society does a great... read more job and the volunteers are terrific ambassadors. There’s so much to see and this is a fun way to get around and to learn about the characters that have shaped Rochester. You’ll get to see some hidden gems too. The walks are Covid safe and free with just a donation requested which I thought was terrific.

  This is a free guided tour. For a start most unusual for something so professional. Donations welcome at the end but no pressure. The Tour - 90 minutes from... read more Rochester Visitor Centre and just done so well. Interesting and informative. Our guide was very relaxed which made for a nice comfortable experience even in times of Covid-19. Rochester is a delight. This is an "easy" tour in that Rochester is small but makes up for it in History and wonderful buildings/architecture. This tour did not take you inside the Cathedral as insufficient time, but does make stops and references outside which gives you a taste for wanting to see more! Would thoroughly recommend, an absolute perfect way to spend an afternoon followed by refreshment's. Plenty of choice along the High Street. Thank-you for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm (3 ladies/friends attended 03.10.20) …

  We arrived in Rochester, as tourists from Yorkshire, to have a look around. We met James down the High Street advertising his tours. he was brilliant. He knew what he... read more was talking about, which made our trip so much more interesting.James took us all round the centre of Rochester, taking into account that we had a baby in a pushchair with us. He got us back in time for our car park, and the Ladies football! Thanks, James

  Today, I experienced a most wonderful conducted Guided Tour of Rochester, as related to Charles Dickens’ “The Mystery of Edwin Drood”. With two magnificent and fully experienced Tour Guides,... read more I was treated to an in-depth, analytical, and most engaging journey around Rochester, together with beautifully-spoken and scripted enactments at various points of the Tour. Without doubt, this was the best Saturday morning I have enjoyed for many a year. I urge all people to seriously consider enjoying this wonderful treat in Rochester's captivating environs. …

  We went to Rochester 27th November it was awful weather but we wanted to make the most of it. John took us on a 45 minutes guided tour and it... read more completely made our day. He was so knowledgeable, interesting and friendly. We learnt so much in a very enjoyable atmosphere. Would highly recommend it and would do the 90 minute one next time! Thank you

  Many thanks to John for a superb guided walk around the beautiful city of Rochester. The walk covered the main sites but many more that I would not have found... read more if not for John. This really bought the city alive for both of us.
John delivered his walk with enthusiasm and an impressive depth of knowledge. He was only too happy to answer questions and unusually for some guides he never lost the groups interest.
I have done many guided walks over the last forty years and few have been of this high standard. So thanks again John.
My advice to future visitors is to book a City of Rochester guided walk and if you are lucky then you will get John as your guide.
Thanks again from Mike and Keith from Wolverhampton
