We took 3 of our grandchildren aged 8, 6 and 3 on the Wizard Walk. They loved the whole experience and so did we. The event was great fun that the family could enjoy together. Well worth it.

My husband and our 7 year old, Harry Potter fan absolutely loved this tour today! The wizard was funny, friendly and magical! We didn’t stop giggling the whole way - brilliant. We’ve done quite a few ‘tourist’ things in York, and this is our favourite!

Seeing the enjoyment on my granddaughters face when she knew the answers to most of the questions and using her wand as she walked around

Street tours always add an element of uncertainty due to never knowing what will happen. This tour was brilliantly led. The Wizard was incredibly engaging. The 'Dad' jokes were spot on and even had my 15 year old daughter laughing. The engagement with both young and old was brilliant. Overall, a very pleasant hour or so of being guided through York with intervals of magic entertainment and well orated script. Loved it.

A splendid afternoon for my 7 year old niece, this tour was great fun and thoroughly enjoyable for children and adults. The puns were terrible as you'd expect and the children were entralled. Mr Wizard clearly has the patience of a saint to deal with such a varied audience, including one child who was particularly demanding but was dealt with beautifully; tactfully and with patience. Great show!

Absolutely amazing wizard tour, enjoyed by all ages. We went for my sons 9th birthday, but his 7 year old loved it just as much! So so SO funny. Wizard is ever so magical, engaging and hilarious. Would recommend 100% and would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you for enjoyable memories to last forever. Reasonably priced, perfect length- not too short, not too long that children loose interest, group size was perfect again not too small so there is no atmosphere but equally not overly crowded. Just perfect from start to finish.
