Skip this one!
I wouldn’t do this tour again. Our guide was nice but very slow in speech and movement with almost no charisma. Sleepy feel throughout the tour. Didn’t feel that we got a good sense of the city at all with just random sites walking around less populated areas.
Operator response
Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re sorry the tour felt slow and didn’t give you the sense of York you were hoping for. A private walking tour should offer an engaging, connected introduction to the city, and we’re disappointed that this wasn’t your experience. If you’re willing to contact us through your booking, we’d appreciate the opportunity to understand more about the route and delivery of your tour.

Great tour with a great guide!
We thoroughly enjoyed our walk in York! We had very little time in the city and it was then great when Alex booked us in on a tour where Dudley then took us on an "exploration" of the city as he called it. We saw a huge amount of sights and heard lots about the history of the city! Really awesome two hours! Thanks!
