Our guide was knowledgeable about York and delivered information appropriate to the stops made during the tour. We were surprised that we were the only guests on the tour, however this in no way curtailed the enthusiasm of the guide who entered into character fully. It seemed very good value for money and we certainly saw some parts of York we wouldn't have found alone. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience as that is what is was - more than just a tour!

We were fortunate to be in a small group so we got a truly intimate experience. Our guide was excellent, personable, funny, and full of so many facts. We learned so much from this tour and got to see a lot of places we never planned on seeing before our trip. 10/10 would recommend!

Thoroughly engaging tour around a fun concept that points out interesting and unseen points of York. I've lived in York for 18 yrs and I saw things I've never seen before and learnt a lot! My son is 10yrs and he engaged with it well too.
