Your Itinerary

Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate

York's shortest street (with the longest name!), and a wonderfully whimsical place to set the scene for our enchanting walk around this spellbinding city!

Shambles

We'll take a wand-er up York's most iconic street, and the most enchanting street in the world! We'll pass shops selling peculiar potions and wizarding wares as we begin our search for magical creatures...

62-68 Low Petergate

Mad Alice Lane...we'd be mad not to stop here, as we search for that rare and mystical of birds...the phoenix! Will this magnificent creature ruffle a few feathers, and what bird-brained magic will our wizard get up to next?

The York Sweet Shop

Candy is dandy, and so we'll stop outside York Sweet Shop in search of our next magical creature! Got a sweet tooth? No time to snack, but find out about York's 'sweet' history!

York Minster

(Pass by)

We'll walk in the shadows of York Minster, adorned with gargoyles, grotesques and all manner of peculiar creatures! We'll search for a rat from the city's plague era. Can a rat really do magic? And what 'tails' will be told next? Find out on this spellbinding tour!

St William's College

Next on our list is a magical mouse! Find out all about carpenter Robert 'Mousey' Thompson and watch in wonder as your wizard guide transforms a simple handkerchief into a white mouse and then brings it to life.

Bedern Hall

Our wizard walk continues through the backstreets of Bedern, as we work through our list of magical creatures in search of an elusive owl. Expect plenty of surprises along the way, it's always a hoot on The Wizard Walk of York!

Ok, the kids enjoyed it, but it cost a lot for the whole family to go and didn’t include ANY information about York in terms of the history of the place or details of what we were seeing. Not worth it imo.

Freddie_Gilbs

Great tour guide - really got into character and good with the kids. His magic tricks were funny especially when they went wrong, and his jokes I thought were very funny. Thoroughly enjoyed it and well worth doing.

Z4063IAlees

Great fun especially for the kids. Silly nonsense in the best possible way. Kids highlight of our stay in York. Definitely recommend.

Pimpcupcakes

SPELLBINDING time had by all! I may have enjoyed it just as much as my little wizards did. A hilariously funny wizard themed romp around York that is a lot of fun. We all enjoyed the interactive theme which really wasn’t overboard as some others are. This hit the spot perfectly. Magic and laughter is the overall theme with enough puns and dad jokes to sink the Durmstrang ship! I would recommend this to everyone with kids and for a love of Harry Potter and all things magical.

Wow! This was an amazing experience- the Wizard was hilarious and very entertaining. The audience were spellbound. Would highly recommend and would do it again.

ruthcW8467LR

My sister, 3 yr old son and I went on the walk. From start to finish the Wizard captured the attention of the youngest to the oldest with ease. The tricks became more magical as the tour went on and very interactive. The wizard chatted with the children as we walked between stops and had us in giggles many times. Highly recommend the tour for families of all ages! The hour flew by and left us wanting more!

We took our Beaver Scouts group - they absolutely loved it! The tour was fun and engaging, well designed and perfect timing. Thank you! 🙏

nicolerT4906MN

Wow wow wow. We experienced this tour with 17 school children and it was the highlight of our trip. To be honest we were all flagging a little on the last day of our school trip and this is exactly what we needed to inject some fun laughter and zest to our weary feet! We were laughing (adults too) from start to finish and the kids were beyond excited. 100% will be returning when we do our residential again. Big thanks again, what a wonderful tour!

dixonpeach

The highlight of York! The parents get to see the sites of york with no moaning from tiny wizards with short legs...as they are too busy enthralled in the magic and humour of the big Wizard they are chasing to notice! well put together and very entertaining! thank you!

rich_is_legend

This tour is brilliant! The Wizard had my 6yo son(now wizard in training) laughing from start to finish with his fun magic tricks and gags. He had me going with some great dad jokes! The tour was really well put together and even had me seeing things around the city that I'd never seen before, and I've lived in York 35 years! I can't recommend it enough!
