Inferno of fun

5.00The wizard walk was excellent. My 8 & 6 year old really enjoyed it and walked all the way without issue (unlike the rest of the day). Jokes and magic tricks were pitched just right for children.
Fun afternoon for the kids (and adults)

5.00Great experience from start to finish! The kids and grown ups in our party all enjoyed it and would highly recommend to any wizards in training. The wand kit was a nice added extra with a good quality wand and leaflet with tricks to try at home.
Very funny

5.00Went with a large group of 7-9 year olds and we were all laughing. Lots of humour and some magic for the kids, lots of puns for the adults. Nothing to do with York but absolutely loved it and would strongly recommend it if you want some innocent good natured entertainment. Still don't know how he knew the mouse's name was Jeff 😆
A magical afternoon treat!

5.00This was a brilliant experience. A lively and entertaining tour. My 8 year old daughter absolutely loved the experience. Full of good humour and excitement. The jokes were well pitched, something for kids and adults, great magic and the provider had a brilliant manner with kids. This experience competed with many theatre shows I have been to in terms of quality. One of the best activities we have done in a long time. Certainly worth the money. I would unreservedly recommend 👌
Wizarding family fun!

5.00What a brilliant way to spend time as a family in York. Our wonderful wizard tour guide Phoenix had us laughing the whole time and the magic tricks were genuinely impressive. Our children (age 9 and 5) were completely engrossed throughout as were the adults. Will absolutely be recommending to any friends and family visiting York with children.
Magically Fun

5.00The Wizard tour was a highlight of our trip to York. Our 8 year old daughter loved the jokes and tricks and so did we. Uplifting and fun way to spend an hour in York.
Funny, witty. Great fun...

5.00Funny, witty. Great fun for all ages. Holds the children’s interest and gets them involved. Our grandchildren and children loved it and we are still talking about it days later.
The Most Incredible Tour in the UK!!

5.00A truly magical journey through the beautiful streets of York with a brilliant wizard as your guide. Laughs, wonder and pure escapism from start to finish, with witty jokes and humour keeping the adults chuckling throughout too. The smiles on the kids’ faces said it all, they witnessed real magic, joy and imagination every step of the way. Both Wizards are an absolute credit to York and to the world of entertainment. If you’re in York and have little wizards or witches of your own, this is an absolute must! Thank you from the whole family, and keep up the incredible work!
