Thoroughly enjoyed our 2hr tour with our guide Keith. Very informative and interesting, would highly recommend to anyone. Many thanks Pete & Deb’s

Even though we had spent 2 days in York visiting the Minster, Jorvik and The Walls, we still found much new information and as yet unseen sites on the walking tour. Alison was a very knowledgeable guide, clear, concise and with a sprinkling of humour. She was obviously enthusiastic to share her pride in her city. Thank you. We would definitely recommend. rn

Really good tour in small tour with very knowledgeable tour guide Neil (I hope I have your name right). rnHe really show you the city but gives you great tips too and it is totally free which is a bit pity. I would not mind giving him fiver or tenner or even somehow support the organization. rnThank you!

We had a really interesting and informative tour of York lasting over 2 hours. Our guide Wendy answered all our questions and was particularly good with our son Marcus who has autism. Would thoroughly recommend!

My girlfriend and I had a fantastic time touring York with our guide Neil today. Neil helped us to understand and appreciate the city much more. His presentation and style were spot on: a healthy mix of historic facts and dates with clear personal stance on issues and lovely sense of humour. Neil’s love for York was coming very clearly through his speech. We felt privileged to be guided around York by someone who knows and loves his native city as Neil does. We recommend anyone coming to York to join tours run by voluntary guides.

Wendy was a brilliant guide. Very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

Richard C was great we were a small group and it felt great to have his knowledge shared with us, he delivered this with ease and was very personable. Although billed as a walking tour, due to the stops and all the nuggets of knowledge it was an easy 2+ hrs – other tours are available but this tour is completely free which is a testament to the team that run the tours – thank you

We did the free 2 hour walking tour of York yesterday, with our lovely guide Debbie. It was a fantastic and rewarding experience, where Debbie was extremely knowledgeable and delivered everything in a light hearted informative manner. We would thoroughly recommend going along on a tour, it’s a great experience.

Lovely tour guide with a laidback, warm and friendly style. We’ve visited York a few times before and thought we knew the city relatively well, but Debbie took us to several places we’ve never been to before and told us many new facts. rnReally enjoyable

We must have just had the wettest York City Tour on record! The forecast said it might rain, but it was torrential, with distant thunder and lightning. Our excellent guide Graham carried on regardless while doing his best to protect us from the elements and keep us safe. He still managed to deliver an excellent tour with a multitude of facts and details (we learned a lot) and delivered with more than a little humour. We had jackets and umbrellas, and remained relatively dry. Poor Graham was well and truly soaked. His performance went well beyond the call of duty. 20/10”rnLooking forward to next tour with Graham when it is not quite so wet’.. Highly recommended.

This tour was the absolute highlight of our stay in York. Our guide, Helen, was so wonderful and gave us an excellent overview of York’s history and monuments. We loved the tour and can’t thank Helen enough!

We would like to thank Judy for being the most outstanding tour guide today in York. For six Londoners who had never visited York before she made the tour totally enthralling (and that’s saying something considering we had 4 teenagers with us). It was fascinating and the 2 hours flew by. We all learnt so much and her passion and love of York shone through. It really made our trip! Thank you so much Best wishes Shoshannah Fenner and family

I enjoyed this tour so much, it is so nice to have someone truly in love with the city history and ready to share his knowledge ! Thank you for your time !

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the super guided walk given by Alison. She was informative, interesting and professional and the walk was fun!rnThank you, Alison!

Excellent!! Thank you Alison!

This was an excellent tour with Richard C, who was a very knowledgeable and interesting Guide. We learned quite a few facts we didn’t know about York and we thoroughly enjoyed our time on the tour. We would recommend this to anyone who would like to know a little more about this beautiful city.

What a generous gesture! thank you very much Richard C and AVG for very professional service. 2 hours guided walking tour of York for free! That is great:) Richard C is a very knowledgeable guide and knows funny stories. 2 h flew by even though it was very hot.

Keith was an amazing guide, so knowledgeable and provided a fascinating insight into York. Keith was entertaining and spent 2.5 hours talking to the group. The tour was relaxed and fun. It was very much a dialogue throughout with questions answered. Many thanks to Keith.

Thank you to our lovely Argentinean guide who conveyed her passion for York and York’s history on our tour! We loved that you gave us the full chronology of York so we would understand the parts of history we would later see in the town’s architecture. We would recommend this tour to any visitor to York!

Our tour guide Richard C was engaging, enthusiastic and so knowledgeable about York. He was able to combine deep historical knowledge with amusing anecdotes. We couldn’t have wished for more. Thank you!

Big thanks for the great tour today by Richard C. Really interesting tour and very knowledgeable guide. Would strongly recommend to others, even more so that it’s completely FREE ! rn

Great tour, knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide! Thank you!

I have done this tour now six times, and I have recommended a few friends to do it as well, and nobody has been let down. All the tour guides are excellent, very knowledgeable about history and culture. The tour is completely free and they won’t take tips. An absolutely unmissable when visiting York for the first time.

Amazing tour! We had ours guided by a Scottish bloke with a big booming voice. The tour was funny, interesting and enlightening. Highly recommended!

My sister and I did the tour yesterday. Our guide Nick was friendly welcoming and knowledgeable. The tour took us to tucked away places we might have missed and it was thoroughly enjoyable. I think it’s wonderful that York people devote their time to show off this historic and beautiful city. An essential start to any visit to York.

Sorry I can’t recall our guides name but he was legit, a 2 hour tour with almost non-stop history, how do they remember all that! Not only that but it never got dull, everything was presented with enthusiasm and respect, funny from time to

The guide really knows about the history of York and England, obviously loves the subject. She was very good at telling facts in an entertaining way.

This is a must-do on York. The guides are very knowledgeable and engaging. We got a sense of York that show how amazing the city is. Mel our guide was great.

Amazing tour!! Really made me appreciate the city a thousand times better. Much love from Malaysia.

My girlfriend and I took the tour this morning and loved it!rnFraser was an excellent guide, full of interesting facts and recommendations. He also made sure that we were all comfortable and stayed safe throughout the tour, bearing in mind Covid restrictions.rnThanks Fraser!

Thank you so much to Judy for a fantastic tour, one of the best we’d ever been on. It was a great introduction to the city of York, full of information and personality! Definitely the best thing we did in our time in the city.

I would just like to say how much I enjoyed my tour – with no obligation to give a donation! My tour was yesterday (30th May) at 10.20.

Many thanks to Keith (the Architect) for his most interesting and informative tour of York today. It was the highlight of our 3-day visit to this wonderful city!

Absolutely amazing tour with Judy, loved the gardens and the little gems we saw today.rnFull of information and great this is free…. Truly free although we really wanted to give a gift of thanks even for a coffee !!rnThe boys loved it, Thank you so much xx

We took the tour with Mike and absolutely loved it, such a knowledgable and friendly guide. We learned so much about York’s history through the ages and all about the beautiful buildings around the city. Mike pointed out some very special and tiny pieces of architecture that we would never have noticed on our own. We can’t recommend this tour highly enough. Thank you Mike.

Thank you Keith for a lovely tour! informative, full of details and interesting. Despite the weather, we had a full tour, we saw all the city highlights and learnt a lot. This was definitely the best idea to start our weekend in York, I highly recommend it! superb quality. Thank you for your time Keith! rn

Loved the tour! Learnt lots about the city and the history of architecture. Recommend it to anyone in the city!

We’ve just come back from our tour of York with our guide Debbie. We’ve learnt lots of interesting facts and been taken down lots of little alleyways and seen places we would never have known existed. Debbie was friendly and informative, we will certainly be recommending it, thank you!

Just had a great tour from a brilliant guide, Shaun. Lots of interesting points and great to listen to the history of such a great city. Highly recommended.

We had a great tour delivered by Keith. Can’t believe it’s free. It was so informative and we saw so much that we would have never found on our own. Would definitely recommend. Thank you very much!

I went on a 1:15pm walking tour with Richard A. The tour was very interesting and Richard A was extremely knowledgeable about York. Andrew A also added humour to the tour which made it more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this walk to anyone who loves learning more about York.

I was on the 1:15 pm tour with Richard and it totally exceeded my expectations. He was knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information about the sights and the fascinating history of York. The walk was easy as well and doable by children and seniors alike. Thanks for offering this!

Our tour was fantastic! The two and a half hours flew by as we learned about York’s rich history. Our tour guide was personable, funny, enthralling, and knowledgeable about all things York. I can’t recommend this amazing tour enough!

Richard A was a very well informed and engaging guide today. Clearly very enthusiastic about sharing his deep knowledge about his city. He managed to keep all included and interacted with all of us along the walk showing genuine interest in his ‘guests’. Very enjoyable.

A wonderful tour, thank you to our amazing guide Peter. Very knowledgable and very accessible for adults and children alike – our daughters were enthralled.

The walk this morning with Ian as our guide was great. Thank you so much ‘ great fun!

‘The walk this morning with guide Richard was fantastic.’

Thoroughly enjoyed our tour last week. Despite the less-than-ideal weather we learned lots, saw some of the most historic sites in York and were both well looked after and entertained by Fraser who did a great job. Only afterwards did we learn it was his first tour but you would never have known. An asset to your cohort of guides!
