Villainous History and Rum Tasting Tour in York Indoor Experience
Villainously good rum!
How dare you ask for a review! What sort of certified villain gives an honest review…?! To be fair (fair??), we loved it! Fantastic hospitality and thoroughly entertaining. Some tremendous rums, so good we bought lots! Happy Birthday from Bjorn was the icing on the cake!

Wizard Walk of York - WINNER Best Tour & Experience of the Year
A truly magical experience!
We ended our visit to York with the Wizard Walk and it was the perfect way to end our visit on a high. Our two children, 10 and 6, were transfixed from start to finish and totally engaged with the wizards ‘quest’. The tour was pitched perfectly, and our kids found the jokes hilarious. The time just flew by. I would absolutely recommend this tour to any families visiting York.
