Fantastic Tour lead by John Gallery. Very entertained and full of anecdotes of every spot we had stopped. He easily hooked with the audience.
Our tour led by Richard was very interesting and enjoyable.
I would definitely recommend.
Amazing tour by Richard on Saturday. I was in York with 6 friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed learning about the incredible history of this amazing City as well as finding out lots of fun facts. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting. Thank you Richard.
