Brilliant York City guide - Dave Haw

Dave is a brilliant, entertaining and very knowledgeable guide. Fantastically 2 hour walk but he could have easily done 8 hours.

Totally Engaging and Informative Tour

Amazing! Totally exceeded expectations. Dave’ presentation is faultless and his local knowledge seems infinite. His Yorkshire sense of humour makes for a most engaging experience. I saw a completely different side of York. Thanks Dave!

The right guide for the history of a magnificent cathedral

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable regarding York Minster cathedral. He discussed little known items regarding the stained glass, history and architecture of the cathedral.

Great tour of York Minster

Had a great experience with Dave. Even though I've been to the Minster many times, we learned so many interesting facts about the place. Additionally, Dave was quite comical

Historical and lively tour.

Dave is knowledgeable and personable. He introduced us to a few others in the Minster that had authority over the Organ and Choir, a stone mason, a docent. He knows a ton of history. Interesting character - you will enjoy a lively tour.

Brilliant experience

We had a wonderful tour of York Minster with Dave, he is an engaging and hilarious guide who possesses a wealth of knowledge about the cathedral and city of York. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had an enjoyable experience. If we return to York, we will definitely be signing up to his tour of York city, I wish we'd stayed an extra day so that we could have attended.

A great tour

We learned so much about the rich history behind this magnificent cathedral on our private tour of York Minster. Dave was a great guide and shared many fascinating pieces of history from the many eras that shaped the cathedral. He took us on a tour that included the stories behind many of the notable stained glass windows and other notable architectural design elements of the building. It was a great experience.
