What a great tour! It was so easy to follow and informative every step of the way. It took us down alet’s and through areas that we wouldn’t have known were there otherwise. It was clear and easy to follow and picked up wherever we did, allowing us time to stop for beers and lunch on the way. It felt like we had our own personal guide with us. Thoroughly recommend.

Wendy_M

Excellent tour. Really informative and funny. The guide was great and super knowledgeable. Would recommend.

Patrycja_E

It was well guided and covered all key points worth noting of York. This was our first time using self-guided audio tour and it really worked for us. We will definitely try it in other cities and countries.

James shared some memorable stories, very evocative. We felt he was walking with us, at our pace, and always had time for a stop at a cafe!

Michael_P

The tour helped us to understand the connection of York with certain historical events and people and being able to see their mark on York. Plus it highlighted places we have never noticed before or known about…yet walked past many times previously!

Nothando C

We enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks to the volunteer, Mr John Wallets. Thank you for explaining about the history all the way. Thanks again.

Stacey_B

Loved it! Easy to follow, informative and concise with little snippets and alleyways we'd have never seen otherwise. Did it with two kids as well (aged 10 & 7) and it was good for them too. Highly recommend as you can go at your own pace, stop when you fancy it and resume when ready.

Interesting, Informative and easy to follow the route, we stopped and started a few times. We would never have seen and learnt lots of the history of York without this guide. We managed to navigate this with our dog too and one earbud each to keep alert!! We really enjoyed the tour. Good price

david_c

Christine_A

This audio tour was an absolute delight! We discovered so many places tucked away that we never would have seen otherwise! Love the flexibility of the tour, we could pause at any time and rejoin. The narrator was clear, knowledgable and wonderful to listen to. So happy we chose to do this!
