Dan was amazing, I'm not into history I tagged along as my family really wanted to do the tour, however I thoroughly enjoyed it. I learnt so much and laughed a lot. Would highly recommend.

An amazing tour from start to finish. Josh dr3ssed for the part and had us engaged from the outset. His knowledge of the history of York and his ability to tell his tales in a clear booming voice was only matched by his humour. In between locations, he was very good at interacting with everyone on the tour. Will highly recommend.
