Really interesting tour with a very knowledgable guide, did a fantastic job of summarising 1900 years of history and taking us through the city. We did it as the first thing when we arrived in York and it helped to contextualise where we were in the world and what we could see. Highly recommended

Excellent, only the two of us. Entertaining , relaxed and informative. Your man was a mine of knowledge. Many surprises about York. Great value for money, really recommend this tour.

Great tour with Nick who was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic! A good way to see the sights and learn some interesting facts about the history of the city.

Allowed alot of attractions to be visited over 2 days and the pass saved alot of money against the cost of paying for the individual attractions.

The tour was very informative and presented light heartedly in parts, which was great.
