Amazing walking tour and perfect introduction to York - We had an absolutely fantastic walking tour of York and our guide Richard made it truly unforgettable. From the moment we started it was clear we were in great hands. Richard is incredibly knowledgeable and has a natural charm that makes every story come to life. He expertly covered a wide range of topics and historical sites giving us a deep appreciation for the city and setting us up perfectly for the rest of our visit. One of the things we appreciated most was how attuned Richard was to our interests. He tailored parts of the tour to what fascinated us most and offered excellent recommendations for places to eat and other things to explore in York. No matter what we asked, Richard had a thoughtful and informative answer—and he always made us feel comfortable asking. If you’re lucky enough to have Richard as your guide, you’re in for a fantastic time. His passion for York is infectious, and he goes above and beyond to make the experience memorable. Highly recommend!
