Fraser was absolutely the best guide. From the start, he was funny, knowledgeable and energetic. His enthusiasm for York is clear, He made a point of describing each place we walked, with historical tidbits to get us thinking. rnThe city itself is amazing and he brought it to life for us.He’s personable, charming, witty, and his knowledge and love of his subject shines through. The two + hours passed much too quickly; we would have walked around with Fraser all day.

Mike was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed his tour. Especially because it was in a chronological format which made it very comprehensible. He went out of his way at the end to show us where the merchants adventurer’s hall was. Much appreciated.
