4.00The tour is brilliant for families, the wizard was so engaging with the kids and was like the pied piper through the streets of York. My children (age 4 and 7) absolutely loved the stories, tricks and jokes. The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is there was no information about York given to us. I was expecting to be told a bit about the city as we walked around which was a shame.
A must do if visiting York

5.00The Wizard Walk of York was great! We went as a family including our boys (age 10 & 8), grandparents, parents & their Aunt - fun for all. A wonderfully engaging, funny tour guide with a fab sense of humour - our youngest especially, laughing & showing enjoyment throughout. We’ve been to York dozens of times over the years so interesting too, to see places/streets we’ve not explored before. Great value for a fun filled afternoon - thank you!
Real good

5.00It was really good very entertaining, my child is 11 yrs and most of the other children were 6/8 yrs so very good for younger children but bit boring for my child he needed older stuff , I would definitely recommend for younger kids it was great, do it to keep the kids entertained and tired after the walk.. really good in my opinion

5.00This had everything: funny jokes, unfunny jokes, gags, puns, magic and the sights of York. My kids aged 5 and 8 loved Phoenix the wizard and were thoroughly entertained. The grown ups enjoyed it too!

5.00Absolutely amazing, my autistic ten year old never talks in-front of strangers and yet she was chatting away to the wizard. We all loved this so much, was hilarious start to finish and very entertaining, the puns just never stopped 😂 would have loved to have had a chat with the guy would love to know if he has a theatre background; as well as his quick whit, humour and magic tricks he’s an amazing performer. 10/10 would recommend.
Highly recommended - Magical family fun and laughter!
