Fantastic free tour, Our group really enjoyed the tour of York on Saturday morning given not by a Yorkshire person but by a Scot called Fraser. The tour was brilliant helped by the great weather Fraser told us it never rains in York when tourists are visiting but I’m not sure we believed him! We were shown everything from Abbey ruins, to strange trees from a very small window to a huge one, from ancient walls to modern buildings, museums to Churches at every stop there was a story and just enough detail to keep everyone entertained and informed without overloading us. Do this tour if you come to York you will not regret it. Big thanks to all the group who do these free tours and to our Scottish guide for the day THANK YOU we really enjoyed it.

Thank you Ken for a great, informative and entertaining tour. We all loved it and learned a lot too. Your knowledge and enthusiasm made it very memorable!

Amazing tour, very informative from beginning to end. As first time visitors to York, we learnt things we never would have just walking around by ourselves. Our guide Kevin was friendly, funny, informative and was especially adept at helping us get into the Dean’s private garden in order to retrieve my mother’s phone which she’d dropped from the Walls!! I would highly recommend this to anyone who has wants to know more about this amazing city.

We loved the walking tour with Fraser and would highly recommend one of these tours. Fraser was informative and made the time with him very interesting. It’s a great way to see some of the city.

Our tour was with Fraser on a beautiful sunny spring day but even if the weather had not been fine I am sure that Fraser’s knowledge, enthusiasm, humour and love for all things York would have shone through. I really enjoyed the tour, learned a lot and would totally recommend this as a way to see York.

We had a wonderful tour of beautiful York with Fraser, a fantastic and knowledgeable tour guide. We loved his tales of historic York and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to spend two hours learning about York’s past and present.rnA five star tour, from a five star guy. And completely free.rnWould highly recommend.

We had an excellent tour with Margaret this afternoon. So knowledgeable and pitched at exactly the right level for us. Many many thanks for showing us a York we would otherwise have missed. rn

I had the privilege to have my tour with Richard (the York lol) and it was excellent. Very complete, funny, interesting and enjoyable. I recommend it !! rn

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.rnI would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful morning touring the sites of York with ‘King’ Richard. He was very knowledgeable and provided some entertaining stories.

What a fabulous tour! Jim gave us lots of entertaining and interesting information about the history of some of the buildings of York. Would definitely recommend.

A wonderful way to get to know a lot about the city! Fraser was a great guide, full of fascinating information and spending time in his company was a pleasure rn

How refreshing to have an articulate and interesting guide who really wanted to share his extensive knowledge of York to everyone in the group – no dumbing down here and I loved it! Martin was very accommodating – I’d actually booked for Sunday, the next day, but preferred to go on the Saturday and, fortunately, I was able to join a tour to fill in for a ‘no show’. We followed an interesting and well chosen itinerary with clever selection of foci from different eras. Martin was approachable and inspired confidence. Thank you – really helped inform my stay in York.

Great Tour ! ‘. Nick our guide showed a real passion for his beloved York. This guy was full of knowledge plus he kept us entertained with his humour .. rnWe thoroughly enjoyed every minute. It was a shame we had to cut it short to catch our train .. Thank you Nick ! rn

Had a wonderful and informative afternoon with Ian Drake.rnLearnt so much local history in the nooks and crannies of this wonderful and our favourite uk city rn

Excellent walking tour by Richard (of York) – informative, interesting, full of facts (some funny, some gory, all fascinating). Can thoroughly recommend this ***FREE*** tour – we were taken to places we literally would have walked past if we hadn’t had a guide. Some useful places suggested to visit at leisure too. Thank you Richard. rn

Despite the unfavourable weather, we had an enjoyable 2 hour tour with Nick who was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic! His knowledge on the city was amazing and we really liked that he drew our attention to quirky features and the city’s snickleways (alleys). We were impressed they don’t accept tips so really do it for the love of the city. What a great service to York. Highly recommend!

Jim was great and we really enjoyed his personal anecdotes and fun facts. Good sense of humour and it provided a good overview of the main spots of York. Only suggestion would be having a little bit more of a chronological narrative of York to hang the various historical stories off. Thanks for the great tour though! rn

Really enjoyed the tour. Guide David was knowledgeable, humorous and clearly had a genuine interest in the history of York. Tour is highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our guided tour around York today. Our guide, Helen, was extremely knowledgeable and sprinkled the content with humour which also made it fun. We found the tour very interesting and highly recommend it. Thank you.

Thank you to Helen for a very enjoyable and informative tour this morning. Helen was friendly and professional. The tour being free meant we felt welcomed to York by a volunteer who was pleased to show us round and share their city.

Excellent tour guide , very informative and entertaining ,telling the history of York

Excellent, informative walking tour of York. Thanks to our knowledgeable guide, Richard.

Really informative and enjoyable tour. John had a passion for history and enormous knowledge and seemed delighted to chat about all sorts. Great starting point for a weekend break in York. Highly recommended.

We had a great guided walk with Frazer. Really informative, interactive and fun. AVG is doing a fabulous job. We take a guided walk every time we go to a new city. This was as good if not better than many of the paid walks that we have gone for.

Joanna our guide was so knowledgeable. There were a few sites that were closed for Christmas, so she took us on alternative routes, through snickelways and to other lesser-known places. The Dutch House was a highlight. Definitely recommend her to others.

Kevin Briggs guided us this morning. He was great! Passionate about the history of what he showed us & very informative. Made our two hours really worthwhile. Very special. Angelos & Helen

It is a well time spent. We walk through York from a historical point of view, which makes us appreciate the beauty of this town even more. We also want to give credit to our guide, Mel, for the kindness and generosity to share his knowledge about York.

A really informative and knowledgeable tour with Kevin this afternoon. We discovered a lot about the history of York and was a wonderful walk around the historic buildings. Would highly recommend booking this tour!

Excellent tour with Kevin this afternoon. We learned so much about the history of York in just a couple of hours. It was a great introduction to this beautiful city. rn

Excellent tour today with Joan. She was friendly, knowledgeable and an all round brilliant guide.rnPlease tell Joan how much we appreciated her tour

Wet and windy day but Mick was there and took 6 of us on an interesting walk. He obviously loves York and disapproves of the way the Shambles has turned out. Some interesting nooks and crannies we went to.

Excellent tour with Helen. Just the right amount of information and pace and she was very knowledgeable about York and its history. Thoroughly recommended.

It was a wonderful tour with an excellent guide Louise. My only criticism was she walked too fast for the slower members of the group particularly in th busy shambles without anything to identify her eg a bright hat ,coat flag etc . It did not detract from the excellence of the tour but there was some anxiety from some members of the group they might get left behind

Helen, our tour guide this morning, made our walking tour enjoyable, and informative. We saw parts of York we wouldn’t have seen and would highly recommend this walking tour.

AVG Second time, about 20 join the walk tourJane spoke loud and clear to make everyone understand. I learned more about York history.She explained in detail about the Roman wall, bank Gates. After the tour, I visited the only Barbican which Jane told me the way. Thanks to Jane.

Kevin is a good guide. It was a little cold, so there was only a few of us. He spoke clearly, not difficult to understand for foreigners. He explained in details about Roman Fortress and the history of minster and monastory. Thank the Oxforder again for his service.

Went on the tour with Mike last Monday afternoon. It was very enjoyable and informative. Just the right pace and learnt so much about the history of York. We went to places we otherwise wouldn’t have known were there. Would recommend this tour to anyone. Thank you.

Mike is brilliant, he shares Yorks history with creativity, accuracy and a lot of data that in other way you won’t learn about this beautiful city. Thanks for the lovely walking tour. Cheers from Argentina!

The tour with Mike was amazing. It really helped us to get the most out of our visit to York and we both left saying how much we had learned and experienced that we otherwise wouldn’t have. I’d recommend it to anyone visiting York. rn

Neil Francis was my tour guide and he did such a brilliant job. He was so knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. Definitely do this if you’re in the city.
