Join our official guides on this unique tour combining 2 city walking tours, straddling the borders of England and Wales. First, you visit the city that everyone is talking about, Wrexham in North Wales, as featured in the TV show, Welcome to Wrexham, which tells the story of Hollywood meets the home of Welsh football. Second, you take sustainable public transport and cross the border to visit the Roman city of Chester. See unique sights and hear authentic, local stories about these two contrasting destinations. You'll also have time for a lunch break and to do some shopping during your day.
