This was an excellent tour with Richard C, who was a very knowledgeable and interesting Guide. We learned quite a few facts we didn’t know about York and we thoroughly enjoyed our time on the tour. We would recommend this to anyone who would like to know a little more about this beautiful city.

What a generous gesture! thank you very much Richard C and AVG for very professional service. 2 hours guided walking tour of York for free! That is great:) Richard C is a very knowledgeable guide and knows funny stories. 2 h flew by even though it was very hot.

Keith was an amazing guide, so knowledgeable and provided a fascinating insight into York. Keith was entertaining and spent 2.5 hours talking to the group. The tour was relaxed and fun. It was very much a dialogue throughout with questions answered. Many thanks to Keith.

Thank you to our lovely Argentinean guide who conveyed her passion for York and York’s history on our tour! We loved that you gave us the full chronology of York so we would understand the parts of history we would later see in the town’s architecture. We would recommend this tour to any visitor to York!

Our tour guide Richard C was engaging, enthusiastic and so knowledgeable about York. He was able to combine deep historical knowledge with amusing anecdotes. We couldn’t have wished for more. Thank you!

Big thanks for the great tour today by Richard C. Really interesting tour and very knowledgeable guide. Would strongly recommend to others, even more so that it’s completely FREE ! rn

Great tour, knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide! Thank you!

I have done this tour now six times, and I have recommended a few friends to do it as well, and nobody has been let down. All the tour guides are excellent, very knowledgeable about history and culture. The tour is completely free and they won’t take tips. An absolutely unmissable when visiting York for the first time.

Amazing tour! We had ours guided by a Scottish bloke with a big booming voice. The tour was funny, interesting and enlightening. Highly recommended!

My sister and I did the tour yesterday. Our guide Nick was friendly welcoming and knowledgeable. The tour took us to tucked away places we might have missed and it was thoroughly enjoyable. I think it’s wonderful that York people devote their time to show off this historic and beautiful city. An essential start to any visit to York.

Sorry I can’t recall our guides name but he was legit, a 2 hour tour with almost non-stop history, how do they remember all that! Not only that but it never got dull, everything was presented with enthusiasm and respect, funny from time to

The guide really knows about the history of York and England, obviously loves the subject. She was very good at telling facts in an entertaining way.

We took the tour with Mike and absolutely loved it, such a knowledgable and friendly guide.

I went on a 1:15pm walking tour with Richard A. The tour was very interesting and Richard A was extremely knowledgeable about York. Andrew A also added humour to the tour which made it more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this walk to anyone who loves learning more about York.

I was on the 1:15 pm tour with Richard and it totally exceeded my expectations. He was knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information about the sights and the fascinating history of York. The walk was easy as well and doable by children and seniors alike. Thanks for offering this!

Richard A was a very well informed and engaging guide today. Clearly very enthusiastic about sharing his deep knowledge about his city. He managed to keep all included and interacted with all of us along the walk showing genuine interest in his ‘guests’. Very enjoyable.

A wonderful tour, thank you to our amazing guide Peter. Very knowledgable and very accessible for adults and children alike – our daughters were enthralled.

The walk this morning with Ian as our guide was great. Thank you so much ‘ great fun!

‘The walk this morning with guide Richard was fantastic.’

Thoroughly enjoyed our tour last week. Despite the less-than-ideal weather we learned lots, saw some of the most historic sites in York and were both well looked after and entertained by Fraser who did a great job. Only afterwards did we learn it was his first tour but you would never have known. An asset to your cohort of guides!

Our tour this afternoon with Ian was marvelous! He was very knowledgeable, interesting and articulate. He clearly loves history and his adopted hometown. And thanks to you, AVG, for organizing these brilliant tours! Our group was a large, multinational, broad age-range group and clearly everyone was very engaged in Ian’s stories!

John was an extremely knowledgeable guide. Clearly very passionate about the City of York. It was a very interesting and informative walk balanced with the right mix of history and humour. Thank you.

Great tour with John. Highly recommended.

Fantastic tour in the rain, with a very knowledgeable guide.

I would definitely recommend anyone visiting York to go on one of these tours. rn

We loved our tour with our guide. Mel was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and engaging. We came away with a deeper sense of the history of the great city of York. It was a highlight of our trip. Can’t think of a better way to get a sense of the city than to take this tour. The 2 1/2 hours flew by. Thank you for providing it. rn

Best city tour ever! We visited York on 6th August (family of four) and our tour guide was Mike. Full of historic knowledge, info related to town life today and real enthusiasm and love for York and England. Big thank you from Spain!rn

On behalf of the 6 people from the Swiss visiting choir a massive thank you to our amazing tour guide John who dedicated almost 3 (instead of 2) hours of his time to share his profound knowledge of, and enthusiasm about, York with us today. We all have participated in guided tours in other places before but this was a truly unique experience! We definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting York.

This was such a fantastic gem in York! I believe our guide’s name was Sandra. She was fantastic! So informative, funny, and a brisk walker! The reason I’m leaving feedback is because of the impact she had on my son. Something I haven’t seen in him before. At 15 yrs old, he is sceptical of all things and acts like nothing is a big deal… BUT, he still raves about Sandra’s tour. I asked what was so special and he said, \dqShe loves her town so much and she shared it with us for free!\dq I’m still not sure why it had the impact that it did, but I’m grateful for it! Great job Sandra! Thanks from us in the U.S. rn
