    We were fortunate to be in a small group so we got a truly intimate experience. Our guide was excellent, personable, funny, and full of so many facts. We learned so much from this tour and got to see a lot of places we never planned on seeing before our trip. 10/10 would recommend!

    Thoroughly engaging tour around a fun concept that points out interesting and unseen points of York. I've lived in York for 18 yrs and I saw things I've never seen before and learnt a lot! My son is 10yrs and he engaged with it well too.

    Fantastic tour for tourists and locals a like! I learned lots about the hidden history of York in a really entertaining way. There was a mix of families and adults on my tour and it was lovely to see everyone engaged. The chocolate tasting at the end was also a lovely treat! Special thanks to our tour guide sherlombo!

    We enjoyed our tour. The tour guide was interesting and had a lot of facts and information. She stayed in character as an inspector, made it fun and was good at drawing us in. We enjoyed our tour.
