5.00Booked myself and family onto this Viking Walking tour for 4pm last Saturday whilst we were up in York for a weekend. The pace was perfect, even for our 2 year old, our Viking guide ‘Agnar’ made sure everyone was together and was very knowledgeable and engaging, giving extra Viking facts as we moved between ‘the realms’. Found it to be a highly entertaining, enjoyable and family friendly activity. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for an activity in York.
