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.

We took the 1.15pm walking tour with Mike. Had a great time, our guide had expert knowledge on the history and culture of the city of York, as well as a good sense of humour too. Would highly recommend to visitors.

Just finished our 1030 tour with Ian. Throughly enjoyable. Ian was very knowledgable and interesting. Showing us hidden gems of the city, alongside more famous sites. Ian’s manner was warm and friendly, strongly recommend. Thanks

Pete…..what can we say …legend….that’s what you are!!! Best tour ever….we all had a fab time….laughed and learned alot xxx from the Northampton crew 🙂

We absolutely loved the tour. Despite a horrible rainy day it was worth every minute. Our tour guide, Tom Bell was fantastic. Highly recommended!

Thank you for a wonderful tour. Our guide Steve was so knowledgeable and showed us aspects of the city which we would not have discovered without his guidance. Steve was pleasant and approachable and answered all our questions thoroughly. Our two hour tour took three hours in his enthusiasm for the city and our enthusiasm to learn about it. Many, many thanks rn

Thank you Melvin for a very informative tour. Your knowledge and memory of facts and dates was outstanding.rnPlease pass onto all the team of volunteers our thanks for the time they take to serve those of us who come and visit your beautiful city.

This tour was one of the best I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Fraser is an excellent tour guide, sharing fascinating insights into the city’s history and culture. His sense of humour added to the enjoyment of the experience.

Nick gave us a great (over two hour) walk covering most of the city’s many attractions. Very inclusive and sensitive to his audience he added humorous and interesting details to the ‘standard’ tour and encouraged audience participation without pressure. rnThoroughly recommend the guides based on his performance.

An enjoyable couple of hours learning about the patchwork of stories of people that have lived in York and the impact they have left on the city. Ian was a knowledgeable and engaging guide.

Mike was a great tour guide! Really knowledgeable and very funny – I learnt so many interesting facts and had a great time. He was super engaging and had some great recommendations!

Absolutely loved the tour of such a beautiful city. Our guide Mike was lovely and very informative with lots of interesting facts delivered in an exciting and engaging way. Thank you Mike!

Our guide, Richard of York, was wonderful. Full of information, tireless, entertaining. Our time spent with him was well worthwhile.

Richard was fabulous! He really brought the history of York alive for us. It was a nice balance of history with humor. Highly recommend this tour.

We enjoyed a wonderful tour with Fraser this morning. We had both read tour books and websites in preparation for our trip to York but learned many fascinating details about this beautiful city. I am so glad that we postponed our departure to take this tour.

What a great tour around York we had this morning with Helen. Some wonderful facts & stories along with visits to places that I’ve never been to in my many visits to York. My teenage kids loved it too. Thanks Helen for really making our day! rn
