An amazing tour to discover the untold part of York and get to discuss and reflect as a group on why certain parts of history are not discussed!
Thank you so much for your review - we're so thrilled you joined us. We hope you come on another tour very soon!
Wonderful tour! One of the best ever city tours me and my partner have ever attended. It was great value for money and perfectly designed. Captured the essence of the city and its history. Rob was really amazing! One of the best guides really! He is a performer, absolute pleasure to go on the tour with him.

Highly recommend this tour on the hidden histories of York. We learnt so much from our guide Rob, a nuanced journey through some of York’s past, highlighting the personal stories of some overlooked figures. Perfect for both locals and tourists!
Thank you so much for this kind review! The contributions of our attendees are what make these tours so enriching for all of, guides included. We will be sure to pass along your feedback to Rob & please join us again soon!
We had a really good experience as a family of 4 (parents and 2 teenagers) on the Uncomfortable Tour York. a very engaging guide who taylored to the younger participants too. It was a very comfortable tour in terms of pace and distance but with a lot of uncomfortable truths about York, which really should be part of the history told on any tour.
Thank you so much for this review! We're so glad all ages enjoyed the tour - we love to hear as many different perspectives on the subject matter as possible. We hope you join us on another tour again soon!
This is an excellent tour to learn more about the less well known history of York. Amy was an excellent guide, informative, while engaging with the group and seeking our thoughts and opinions. Hearing about women, ethnic minority groups and LGBT people in the past was fascinating. Well worth seeking this tour out.
Thank you so much for your review! Delighted you enjoyed the tour and we will be sure to pass your feedback along to Amy. Please do join us again soon!
A really great look at York's history that challenges the "Disneyfied" York that tourists know and love, with lots about Romans, Medieval life, Irish immigrants, chocolate history, LGBT (Ann Lister), antisemitism and fakery . Not preachy - just challenging us to look beyond the "chocolate box" history of beautiful York. Amy was a great guide - and got some good conversations going
Thank you so much Kathy for your kind review. We are delighted that you enjoyed the tour - the perspective of our attendees is what makes the discussion so invaluable! We hope you join us again soon.
A truly excellent tour covering the parts of history often missed out in the heritage sector. Covers everything from Romans to the Jewish massacre at Clifford’s Tower. The tour guide was wonderful and all participants are well included in the conversation. I highly recommend!
Thank you so much! We are thrilled you enjoyed the tour and were able to contribute to discussion - the insights our participants bring are so invaluable. We hope you join us again soon!
The tour was engaging, thought-provoking, and highly valuable for students. It encouraged critical reflection on hidden and contested histories in York while challenging dominant heritage narratives. Students appreciated the interactive approach and the opportunity to connect classroom discussions on inclusion and representation with real examples from within the city.
Thank you so much Stella for your kind review - we had such a wonderful experience working with you & your students. They were engaged and thoughtful and just a delight! Thank you again & we hope to have you join us on another tour soon!
Really enjoyable and informative tour about aspects and perspectives of York’s history that are the ‘hidden stories’. Covering narratives from Roman, to medieval, to the city’s chocolate making history, and lots in between.. Rob was a superb guide - a great balance of engaging his guests, friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend and I will look to do different tours with Uncomfortable York. Thanks for a great morning.
Thank you so much for this lovely review! We are so glad you had a wonderful experience & we'll be sure to pass along your feedback to Rob. We hope you join us again soon!
A very informative tour of York, and I learned a lot about York's history, even though I grew up near York, and thought I knew a lot about the city! Big fan of the way the tour was structured around discussions.
