    Without a doubt, this was my granddaughter's favourite part of hour half term trip to York. The kids had a wonderful experience and the parents had a good laugh at the more adult jokes along the way. This will stand out in my granddaughter's memory for years to come! Many thanks

    Last minute tour booked for our school residential trip to York. We took 50 pupils aged 9-10 years old on a three-day trip to York and this was the highlight of our trip. I have never seen our pupils so enthralled, mesmerised and amazed. For over an hour, they were completely entranced by the comedy, wizardry and history of the Wizard Walk of York. You will never experience anything like this anywhere else. We were taken into the most secret locations around York and thrilled with magical tricks for the entire duration. All of the children agreed that this was the best part of our trip - even better than some of the largest and best attractions that York has to offer! This made our trip truly magical and I would recommend it to any schools or families visiting this historic city. It is something completely different and will have your children entertained from the very first second. The adults really enjoyed it too - lots of jokes aimed at the older generations! A wand-erful time had by all! Headteacher of a Primary School in Nottinghamshire

    This was the highlight of our trip to York. My 9 year old and 7 year old didn't stop laughing the whole way round. The tour guide was so funny and charismatic and both kids and adults were thoroughly entertained. Thank you Phoenix 🐦‍🔥

    We went on this trip with our 6 and 3 year and they both had a fantastic time. Both kids were fully engaged throughout and found the walk both hilarious and entertaining, as did we! Would highly recommend and was a great way to spend a couple of hours in York

    We were a family group - several adults and 8 cousins, aged between 2 and 9 years. Everyone enjoyed the experience. It was pitched perfectly for the children, with plenty of jokes and asides to amuse the adults; plus an interesting walk around the old town. I can highly recommend this tour

  • Wonderful Wizard Walk

    We booked this walk to do with our 5yr old during our half term break in York. I didn’t know what to expect and at first thought it might be really Harry Potter themed which our little one wouldn’t understand. However it wasn’t too focused on that, rather just a general wizarding theme, with the kids all enthralled! Lots of tricks, jokes (inc some for the parents/older kids). All within the old town area. Really would recommend! Thank you for the experience - our wee one is still reminiscing!

  • My kids still talk about the wizard even now... Many months later.
