5.00Molly our guide was Brilliant, very interesting and fun.. Told us about so much history of York and Harry Potter too of course, we played games, answered questions. There was only 5 on our tour including Molly, we all laughed a lot.I would definitely recommend this tour to anybody. I've recently started booking up for walking tours in any new town or city I visit now. I've even started doing walking tours in my own city too.
Professional and informed. Recommended.

5.00My partner and I were in York last weekend. We stumbled by accident on a guided tour outside Yorkminster Cathedral. The guide Dave Haw welcomed us to his party of people. His knowledge of history, facts were incredible. He added interesting anecdotes to the tales he told. We even had short break for a beverage in one of his favourite cafes. We full recommend that you book on one of Dave's tours. You will not be disappointed. I myself am a guide at Mostyn Hall in North Wales.

We got to know a lot of history about York and played a few quizzes and scavenger hunts which were amazing. it ended in the shambles which is a great opportunity to go explore and visit the Harry Potter shops! Would definitely recommend 😁
