We were visiting York from Austin, Texas for only two days and decided to go on the free walking tour. Our guide that morning was Angela and she was just wonderful. Not only was she extremely well informed on the history and archaeology/architecture of York, she was a true delight. And, she was genuinely empathetic to the people who made York’s history and spoke eloquently of the need for tolerance between faiths and different peoples. Angela brought York alive for us and she is, indeed, a treasure, herself. Please thank her again for us.

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the guided tour of York on Wednesday 20th June at 2.15pm. Charlotte who was our guide, was very informative, and it was very interesting to hear about the history of York, some of which I didn’t even know until the tour. I would recommend it to anyone else, who is interested in York and its’varied history. Thank you once again, and in particular to Charlotte.

Dear Sir or Madam, we recently enjoyed a tour guided by John S. His knowledge and warmth made the walk the highlight of our trip to the UK. Many thanks to your organization for the wonderful gift it provides visitors to your fascinating city. We hope to return one day. Regards

Dear Sirs, Just to say how enjoyable my wife and I found the guided walk we did with David on Friday afternoon last at 1.15pm.

We just wanted to record our thanks and wish the Association every success in the future. Yours

Hi, we joined a free walking tour of York on Wednesday 8th February 2012 guided by Richard. We would like to say that we thoroughly enjoyed the tour despite the freezing conditions. Richard was a very informative and entertaining guide ‘ so much so that we felt it necessary to email to say how good we thought he was. We had a group of mixed nationalities and ages and Richard expertly gauged just the right level of detail and humour. Thank you very much to the Association of Voluntary Guides for taking the time to run these free walking tours ‘ a great service, much appreciated. Kind Regards

Dear AVG group, my husband, daughter (a student in York) & I joined one of your tours on Saturday morning. Unfortunately I did not get the guides name, but she was a delightful lady with silver/light hair. The tour was absolutely enthralling ‘ she really brought the city to life, and I learned so much, not just about York itself, but the development of language, guilds, church environments’.I want to thank you for providing such an amazing experience ‘ I am now recommending to all my friends and colleagues! Many many thanks, Kind regards

Hi, my wife, son & I attended your 2.15pm walking tour of York today, run by Charlotte. I would like to sincerely thank her for the wonderful insight into the history of York she provided. We all learnt so much and it was a highlight of our stay here. Kind Regards

Dear Sir or Madam, we wanted to say thank you for a wonderful guided walking tour we had some weeks ago when we stayed in York. We have toured Britain for several years now and this was certainly one of the best walking tours we have experienced.

Hello. my husband and I visited York for the first time on Thursday 20 October 2011. We thoroughly enjoyed our day. One of the highlights of the day was the 2.15 guided tour, led by one of your volunteer guides. Our guide was superb ‘ a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable gentleman. We did not have an opportunity at the end of the tour to fully express our appreciation to him, so would appreciate it if you would let him know just how much we enjoyed and learned from his informative and interesting tour. Kind regards
