Patrick and his wife use their theatrical talents to transport you back in time to when historical events happened in York. Recreating the event while giving you some context as to what led to the final outcome. They do so with some creative flair making it loads of fun for the tour participants. It is hIstory minus the boring bits
Don't miss out on this!

Although I had already been to some of the places, this tour allowed me to learn more about the history of the places and their connection to York. This tour was a fantastic and very good experience.
