Jean M - This was a fantastic tour. Learned all about Christmas in York through the ages. We took part in a play and there were even puppets and a prize. Patrick is very knowledgeable and the lady who appears as different people brings the whole thing to life. They were both very funny. FANTASTIC

Fabulous Christmas tour - This was a fabulous tour and a great start to Christmas! We learnt lots about Christmas traditions over the centuries in a really fun way. Patrick was a very knowledgable tour guide and his assistant, who kept popping up, throughout the tour, was hilarious.
Would definitely recommend.
