A most enjoyable tour of York! - What a wonderful enlightening tour of charming historical York, we highly recommend our tour guide Patrick! Patrick was a terrific guide filled with tales of York- the Romans, the Vikings, the French & the English along with props, a little competition and a prize no less!! Super enjoyable tour and his wife’s appearances as characters from the olden days made it that much more enjoyable and fun—- Thank you Patrick, you made our journey to York very memorable indeed— even the Roman from NJ gives you kiddos!!

Excellent tour - The tour guide on this tour was very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable and helpful! Given the fact that we were tourists he even showed us some places that weren’t on the tour that we wanted to see! I would highly recommend this tour.

impressive - Very good Chinese, humorous English people, feeling very close, telling small stories, grouping, winning coins to introduce history, was a very memorable experience. There were two people in total who would give us a performance, kind of like a situation drama, and then a strong sense of substitution, hopefully again. Really good 👍🏻
