4.00Entertaining for families with children under 10 years of age. Was a good way to view the town centre although was not focused on the sites or history of York. Not what I expected but very good for younger kids.
Amazing, so entertaining for all ages

5.00We enjoyed this. My daughter and myself both found it funny. The wizard had a good energy and enthusiasm and nothing felt like it had been repeated all day. Not much history info but took you to some lovely parts of York and good fun!
