Our friendly guide Alfred showed us around York. Going through the centuries whilst walking around and through the city, not rushed, it was good fun. Very knowledgeable and bought York to life.

We loved our tour with Sarah! She was so knowledgeable and well spoken and we learned so much about the area in a short period of time. Our kids (16 and 20) loved it as well. I highly recommend visiting York and doing this tour on the first day!

Our tour guide was so much fun! He was knowledgeable about history, archaeology, and a true expert in the area. Our family of three were the only ones in the group and yet he still gave us such a detailed and informative tour.

To repeat what many have written before, this is an excellent tour. The small party (8) meant it was easy to hear Sarah and to ask questions. Sarah really seems to know her York, both past, and present. So as well as Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Normans we had tips on good places to eat (checked out a couple = ✅). Plus, we now know the difference between alleys, ginnels and snickerts (pls excuse spelling).

Sarah was interactive and really good at answering questions. Also good at giving recommendations for other places to go in york. She really loves the city and you can definitely tell by the way she talks and guides you through it.

Guide was really knowledgeable and gave us a unique insight into York history. I particularly enjoyed seeing inside the York University building which was the old palace of Henry V111

Excellent job by Sarah to engage us on a challenging weather day. Splendid knowledge of her subject, and a small (max 8) group keeps things moving along nicely and easy to hear.

Sarah was great, she knew her history and gave us a very good tour of York. We highly recommend the tour, to get the behind the scenes history. Then you can check out this very cool area of York. Thank you Sarah.

Excellent. Sarah text me on the day with a reminder of the time and place we were meeting. It was a nice small group - were 4 of us so it was easy to see and hear everything and Sarah asked us what we wanted to get out of the tour so she could tailor it to us. Sarah was very informative and covered the history of york from the Romans to the present day. Sarah pointed out some good places to eat, and interesting places we might like to visit on our own. I had mentioned I needed somewhere to store my luggage the following day and Sarah pointed out somewhere I could do this as we passed. As a solo traveller it was perfect for me.

We joined Sarah for a walking tour in York and were so impressed with her knowledge and presentation of the history of York. We particularly liked the small group tour.

We learned so much from Sarah on the walking tour about the history of York. The tour was small and intimate and felt relaxed so you could ask questions, which Sarah knew all of the answers to. Would definitely recommend if you are in York and wanting to find out about all of the history you are standing on top of!

A well run and interesting tour. Sarah was the host, she was engaging, informative and answered any questions that was asked. Being a small group certainly made this walk worthwhile.

Very friendly tour guide, who knew her stuff and was able to talk around the subjects and elaborate when asked non specific questions.

Perfect length of time and level of information to keep my kids engaged (ages 11 and 15). We were only in York for 1 overnight so this was perfect before we explored on our own. Loved our guide.

Sarah is a very professional and friendly guide. I would highly recommend her. Despite the rainy and stormy weather she took all the time to tell the interesting stories about the history from the Romans to the statue of Queen Elizabeth in the front of the York Minster. She made me look at the city with different eyes.

We really enjoyed this tour. It was conducted by Alfred. We found his conversational style to be very engaging. Not only did we learn loads about the fascinating history of York; we talked about a variety of other topics and really enjoyed his company. I am hopeful that if ever York City play Shrewsbury Town that we might meet again. Don't miss this one.
