5.00A truly wonderful experience today for our 7 year old grandson’s birthday treat along with his 8 year old brother. They are both into Harry Potter and absolutely loved all of the references to HP, the fabulous magic and Dad jokes. The Wizard is so engaging and funny, even the grown ups loved it. I would highly recommend this walking tour without any hesitation.
Highly recommend

5.00We booked for a birthday party and we were not disappointed. 10 children and 6 adults, we all had such a great time. How the wizard of york interacts with the crowd is amazing, all the questions or comments from the children were handled brilliantly. We want to do it all again.
A flaming, fantastical, fearlessly funny, fabulously fizzy wizard walking tour!

5.00We took our 9 year old twins on this tour and they had THE BEST time. Interactive, engaging and lots of fun. Our Wizard was friendly, sharing magic and jokes. We walked around parts of York we would never have known about and heard brilliant facts. Would 100% recommend.
Fabulous Tour

5.00Fantastic tour. Booked with our wizard and magic mad 7 year old in mind, it was declared ‘perfect’ by her. A light hearted and engaging walk with plenty of cheesy but funny jokes for the grown ups. Just the right length for kids to stay engaged.
Magical and entertaining tour of York

5.00We went on the Wizard Walk of York today and had a fantastic time. The Wizard was absolutely brilliant — full of humour, quick wit, and clever tricks that kept both the children and adults thoroughly entertained. The tour led us through the magical streets of beautiful York, bringing the city to life in a really fun and engaging way. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something a little different to do while exploring York.
