Can't recommend Cecil and the York Cycling Tour gang highly enough! What a truly memorable, fun and informative few hours we had this weekend, discovering new bits of York I'd never seen and learning a whole host of fascinating history and info. We were a slightly larger group than normal but Cecil accommodated us perfectly and was relaxed and humorous throughout. Can't wait to return with my teens now!

Absolutely great time with our guide Cecil, he was so knowledgable & clearly enjoys what he does. We learned so much about York & really encourage any visitors to take the bike tour.

We had a lovely couple of hours riding up and down the streets of York! Cecil was a great tour guide and was able to offer insights into the history of the city from ghost sightings to chocolate makers, highway men to millionaire business men, the makings of the minster and so much more! We will 100% be recommending the tour to others!

CJtravellingtheworld

We enjoyed a great few hours discovering parts of York that we never would have on foot. Cecil was a friendly, fun and highly knowledgeable guide with a real passion for the city. As a result of the tour we were able to plan which parts of the city we wanted to explore in more detail. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Great bike tour of York city centre with brilliant and very knowledgeable guide, Cecil. We learned about York’s history including the importance and influence of the Vikings and Romans - it was really interesting to be shown significant locations. We were also shown parts of the city we had never been to before including Rowntree Park and learned about the York’s chocolate industry past and how it helped to shape the city. The tour gave us a different take on a city we have visited many times. We would highly recommend this tour for both newcomers to the city and frequent visitors who would like to know more.

Cecil was the host with the most! Great sense of humour and knowledgeable. He certainly showed us the sights of York! This excursion is a must if visiting the area. Thanks so much we will be back if you can cope with us again!

What a great way to start our visit to York. Cecil is an excellent guide -knowledgeable, funny and charming. Being on bikes allowed us to explore far more of the city than we would have ever seen otherwise. We gained a solid understanding of York's history, key sights as well as general layout. We loved that the tour met at York Brew, which I had thought was a coffee shop, to our delight it is a craft brewery featuring dozens of excellent beers. What a great way to wrap up our tour and a chance buy Cecil a cold one.

Brilliant tour and tour guide Cecil.. great way to get around York and listen to the history of York.. highly recommend

jeromed333

The bikes were light and easy to manoeuvre and the pace was leisurely, allowing the whole group to enjoy the experience. The tour guide (Cecil) was super friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. I only wish we'd taken the tour on our first day in York rather than our last, as it showed us many places we would of liked to spend more time in. Can't recommend enough.

Larkhall

Booked this tour predominantly to get our bearings in York however it was such fun. Cecile clearly knows his stuff and he was very knowledgeable about York. We had a fab time and were surprised at how cycle friendly York is. I would definitely do this again. Thanks Cecil!
