Ellie was an incredible tour guide! The reviews didn’t disappoint! She was so energetic, shared a lot of knowledge, and made my day. The quiz was super fun and a great way to get to know other people on the tour. Ellie made sure to talk to everyone and gave really great recommendations on what to do in York.

Tour was great! The guide was very enthusiastic and it was fun to be doing quizzes about Harry Potter along the way and competing for the house cup :))) We started right next to the train station and walked east along the Minster direction, we saw the ruins of a old cathedral, and an old hospital, a perfect mix of mystery with a hint of magic. Recommend this activity to any Harry Potter fan :)
