Enchanting walk highlighting the magic of York - This was a really great walk - lots of fun magic (both me and my 5-year-old were spellbound by the fire trick✨). The walk itself was not far in terms of distance, so easy to manage for little legs. The references to Harry Potter are subtle, so non-fans will not be baffled but Potterheads will lap them up. We bought wand kits and the kids got a lot of use out of them on the walk and still even now. 10/10 would recommend!

Fun and Frolics on the Wizzard Walk - We had an amazing hour being entertained by the Wizzard. A fun time was had by all, my grandchildren loved receiving the magic wand. I would absolutely recommend The Wizzard Walk to people with young children.

Brilliant family entertainment! - What an absolutely brilliant tour! Our whole family really enjoyed this- even the rain couldn’t dampen our spirits. The children were fully engaged throughout and thought it was brilliant. Highly recommend for families with wizard loving kids. Great jokes, cool tricks and a must do tour on a trip to York. The wand and spell book, for a small extra cost, were well received too.

Magical, funny, entertaining tour - What a fantastic experience. The Wizard had all of the kids hooked and all the adults laughing too. Amazing magic tricks and he was totally dedicated to entertaining. He interacted with the group in an engaging way both on and off-script. A short walk, totally manageable for little legs!
