Karen Leeson

Born in Cheshire and originally from Altrincham, I moved to Chester in 2017 and was captivated by the local history of the beautiful City of Chester.  I decided to train as a Green Badge Tourist Guide and qualified in 2022.

Previously I worked in the IT industry for many years followed by the Commercial Renewable Energy industry in a variety of customer facing roles.

It is a real joy to take visitors both local and from all over the world on a walking tour of Chester and to inspire them with fascinating stories about the history of this remarkable City.

If you are looking for a private walking tour, I will be thrilled to entertain you and show you the sights of Chester – you will be amazed.
