    Our guide was very knowledgeable, we loved there being on 4 of us in group. We did, however, learn alit of history by going to York minster in morning. Lots of history in the crypt at York minster.

    My wife and I attended the walking tour with an absolutely fantastic guide. It was a particularly cold and rainy day but at no time did it feel as if the tour was rushed or any part brushed over, despite our guide looking very cold! Her information and tid bits about the city were really engaging. Highly recommend this tour!
