A must for kids on vacation

5.00This is a kid focused activity- our 7yr old loved it! It was a nice break from the more adult focused tourism. Definitely bring a wand if you have one. We went to a later in the day tour, but I would recommend going earlier since this takes you through a lot of interesting streets and near shops you’ll want to return to, but most close at 5. If any critique, I would like a few historical facts sprinkled in about the places we stopped at- the church, the alley, etc. Ultimately, its walking standup for kids but the adults genuinely loved it too.
Hilarious and very...

5.00An enjoyable hour or so, with fun magic for the children and corny jokes for the adults, the time passed quickly as we moved around the centre of York. There was not too much walking and many stops for explanations and fun.
