We had a wonderful tour with Sarah! She knows so much about the city and its history, but it was never ever dull. Despite the cold, we found ways to move and keep warm and she kept us completely engaged. While Christmas was definitely the theme, there was so much more. One of the best things about the tour was that we took part in it at the very beginning of our stay in the city, and afterward we're able to follow up on things she talked about. I don't think a day went by when we weren't reminded of something she had said. I wish our photos did it justice. A fantastic tour - thank you, Sarah.
Excellent way to see York and hear of many of the stories of Christmas that we had never heard before. The guide was very knowledgeable and overall, very enjoyable.
A great,friendly and knowledgeble tour guide. Sarah made the walk an interesting 90 minutes and was inclusive of everyone.
Sarah was great! Incredibly knowledgeable and yet she made everything fun and intriguing. It was very exciting to visit some of these sites on our very first day in York. It made it that much more interesting on successive days as we walked around the city, recognizing landmarks that she pointed out during our tour. And having such an experience at Christmas was a special treat!
Lovely experience with a truly dedicated guide who embodies the spirit of this lovely town. I enjoyed every moment of the tour.
Interesting and informative guided tour with a fun, friendly and knowledgeable guide. Covered a great deal of history. Definitely worth the price
Just the right length (time and distance). We learnt some surprising things about the history of Christmas and York, in a fun and engaging walkabout.
very informative tour, sarah provided many interesting historical facts regarding many different eras including the vikings and romans! she also mentioned different countries such as scotland and the netherlands which was a nice touch. took us to some lovely locations around the city centre of york to go with the stories and info she was telling us. sarah was a lovely tour guide and very interactive and welcoming, would reccomend the tour to anyone looking for something to do to get in the christmas spirit!
Sarah was great. Well prepared. Interesting stories in all sorts of Christmas anecdotes. Everything from Romans to Terry’s Chocolate orange. Well done. Awful constant rain but that wasn’t her fault!
