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.

Pauline was our guide today. She was amazing. I loved the way she guided us through the city, showing us the higlights with a valuable mix of historic and curious facts. I strongly recommend it if you want to travel back in time and get to know york.

Thank you Chris for a really interesting tour. We’ve learnt loads and picked up insights on history generally

Richard was our friendly and knowledgable tour guide for the afternoon. We enjoyed hearing the history of York and walking to amazing sights. I highly recommend attending a tour with the Assocation of Voluntary Guides to the City of York. rn

John took us on a two hour tour through York’s history highlights. We had a wonderful time. Learning about the romans, Vikings, medieval and modern times was great with such great vivid explanations and inside stories. John tells so much, and could have gone on all day we bet!!

We took the morning tour with Wendy and it was fantastic. She was kind, knowledgeable, and entertaining. We really learned a lot from her descriptions of the sites and thoroughly enjoyed spending the morning with her.

I recently enjoyed an AVG tour of York (May 24, 1:15) and want to tell the organizers how much I appreciate the tour guide (Sandra I think. An 80 year old dynamo with an encyclopedia-mind and lots of interesting opinions).

It was a very fulfilling tour today with Judy who is one of a kind. A lot of interesting information about the city and you can feel her love for York. The tour was captivating and engaging, a lot of questions asked and answered. Every tourist was paid attention to. It was a real joy to spend those 2 hours with Judy! Unfortunately I didn’t have a chance to say Thank you in person cause I got lost after the Shambles – the city is tricky) But I am truly grateful for this opportunity to meet Judy and have a share of her knowledge and love for York. Cheers

Really enjoyed our tour with Richard – he was really knowledgeable, threw in a couple of ghost stories and recommended a coffee shop for afterwards. A great couple of hours spent.

Our guide Jim was humorous and seemed to love what he does. One thing that could be improved was that it was very hard to hear him, both because he turned his head side to side (I think in order to look at the group) and when his head was turned away, we could not hear; and also he spoke too quickly for these non-Scottish ears to understand! Still, we learned a lot and enjoyed it. Thanks.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Kevin who gave us an EXCELLENT tour of this amazing city today.rnHis enthusiasm and knowledge were delightful and have whet our appetite for further reading and discovering of all this rich history.rnTHANKYOU so much for your generous time. We had a wonderful afternoon!
