John met us right on time at our hotel and gave us a private tour of a lifetime! He tells the real historical stories of York dating back to 100 AD. John brings history to life with his colorful story telling and enthusiastic delivery of the subject matter. Just let John know your interests and he will customize the tour just for you. We liked the tour so much we were sad when our time ended so we booked another one. We would highly recommend any of John’s tours. You’ll be glad you did!

Knowledgeable and entertaining tour
John was an excellent tour and full of knowledge and enthusiasm. Has a passion for the history. He showed us parts of York that we would never have found or known about. So glad we found him.

Walk through History!
An amazing walk around York! John was very friendly and provided a detailed history of York’s rich history. Guaranteed to see things you would probably miss on your own. Most highly recommend

Very nice BUT many tourists on a narrow path: You have to avoid each other, walk in line
The rampart itself is actually very nice and beautiful, but there are also a lot of tourists here on the narrow path. So one is very busy avoiding the "oncoming traffic" and thanking/apologizing. For this reason, unfortunately, you can only enjoy the attraction to a limited extent. Furthermore, on a sunny day with a high tourist crowd, you walk over the wall virtually in line.
For this reason, if you decide to take a walk on the wall, it is ONLY early in the morning before the majority of tourists are on the road.

Amazingly insightful walking tour.
Would highly recommend, we did the ghost tour. John is outstanding with his knowledge and love of history. Had he been a teacher I would have passed my GCSE history with flying colours! Engaging and passionate, this was without a doubt the highlight of our 3 day stay in York. A thoroughly educational and enlightening 1.5 hours of walking around the city listening to ghost stories and seeing the sites.

Unique Walk Around The City
🪄🥾 Walked the ancient York City Walls or "Bar Walls" for a journey through 2,000 years of history in 2 miles.
Roman Walls is the longest medieval town walls in England, originally a defensive structure dating back to 71 AD, now offering a 2 mile elevated Walking Trail around the city.
It’s a popular attraction, free to visit
but worth checking opening hours before you go. Dogs aren’t allowed on the walls (except assistance dogs), so plan accordingly.

Fantastic private tour
I’ve been on so many tours, and John’s tour of York was the all-time best. One guide for us two private tourists. Very accommodating to our preference as pick up location and tour contents. Personable and good sense of humor. Extremely knowledgable.

Amazing tour with an amazing guide!
John’s tour was fantastic, as always! This was our fourth tour with him (the first City Walls tour, we usually do his ghost tour) and it did not disappoint. John is extremely knowledgeable, fun and funny. We and our friends we’ve introduced to John highly recommend!

This tour was a great...
This tour was a great experience and possibly the best money spent on my trip. John is so knowledgeable about the history of York and a wonderful communicator. I saw sites and heard stories that I would never have encountered on my own.
