    Brilliant, funny, informational walking tour. Sarah’s stories seamlessly wove Christmas into the history of York, from the Romans through to Terry’s Chocolate Oranges (my husband’s favourite part) via Rudolph, monks and and mince pies we thoroughly enjoyed our sparkling introduction to this beautiful city. We are thoroughly convinced that York really is the ‘most Christmassy city’! and we will be back 🌟🌟🌟

    The tour was extremely windy by the Minster! But we had an excellent guide, Michele, who kept the group of just under 20 entertained and informed. She was excellent. I have lived in York most of my life and learnt a great deal. And I think our American friends were very engaged in the tour and the variety of places visited, as well as the references to Vikings and Romans and the medieval era. I liked the piece about Charles Dickens too. Very good, highly recommended!

    Sarah provided a wonderful Christmas themed tour of her city. Her historical references were spot on and helped us understand the city and how it grew from Romans to Vikings to Georgian and modern times.
