Customer Comments

 

"Everyone was so welcoming taking time out of their busy day to talk to us.  We learnt so much about how hard everyone works to make racing run like clockwork"  Roy 5/5/11

"I have been on a few racecourse tours and I can honestly say the Chester version was the most detailed of all and by far the most informative. The group were especially excited to see the jockey's changing room, the stewards room and the stables from a distance, and I appreciate that these areas are usually off limits to the public, even if going on a pre-arranged tour" Debbie 6/5/11

"We would like to thank Jeannie for a hugely enjoyable tour of the race course on Sunday 31st July. It was so very interesting and informative.  Jeannie, her co-workers and the officials gave us a real insight into the procedures to be adopted on race day. It was so reassuring to see the measures taken to safeguard the integrity of horse racing at Chester.  We felt very privileged to be allowed behind the scenes. A really great tour! – Thanks." Dave & Rosemary 16/8/11

"What a fascinating experience. Thank you for making the whole Chester raceday experience one to remember for us.  It should not be missed!" Patricia and Michael 14/8/11
