5.00We cannot reccomend Scott's tour enough. We have been to York a couple of times before and this tour is by far the best. We got to visit several lovely pubs and learnt a lot about the history of the city. Scott is not only well versed in York history but in European travel as a whole and is an interesting person to have a pint (or several!) with.

5.00This experience combined history with a good time and made our weekend in York very special indeed. Scott was knowledgeable and pointed out many things in the city we would have simply missed without him. The pubs were a diverse mix, giving us time to relax and rest our feet.

5.00Guide was funny and knowledgeable about the city. Pubs were a great mix of places we wouldn't have found on our own. The time seemed to fly by even though we felt like we saw so much of the city. Best for pub or beer lovers who also like quirky history.
A fun walk through Old York with pub pit stops.
