5.00I chose this tour because I wanted to learn about all of York’s history from the Romans to the Vikings to Henry VIII to Guy Fawes and everything in between. Chris was an amazing tour guide. He knows sooo much about history and weaves the stories so well. His local knowledge of York is impressive. He went above and beyond to make the day educational and amazing.
Wonderful tour, rich with detail.

1.00Our tour guide was terrible. Showed us next to nothing in York. We had a private tour and he allowed other people to join our group. At that point, we left. We never saw the walls of the city. Sq nothing. Very hard to understand and he told us more than once that he was tried and needed to rest. Crazy!! Want a refund
An excellent tour of York
