A great tour- and not just for Christmas!
We had a wonderful tour with Sarah! She knows so much about the city and its history, but it was never ever dull. Despite the cold, we found ways to move and keep warm and she kept us completely engaged. While Christmas was definitely the theme, there was so much more. One of the best things about the tour was that we took part in it at the very beginning of our stay in the city, and afterward we're able to follow up on things she talked about. I don't think a day went by when we weren't reminded of something she had said. I wish our photos did it justice. A fantastic tour - thank you, Sarah.

Great Tour, Entertaining and Knowledgeable Guide
John was an excellent, fun, and highly knowledgeable tour guide in York. His love of the city and its history was evident. He told us many entertaining stories and "read the walls" for us -- the history of York through the ruined walls of Roman, Norman, and Medieval architecture. He mixed in the origins of the Christmas dates and rituals that we know today, given we were touring on December 19. And taught us much more about Vikings than we ever knew before, including facts about their non-patriarchal society that valued the skills and intellect of women, even as warriors, just as they valued those of men.

A must!
York City Walls are absolutely amazing, free to enter, and once you get to know them, they're a great way of getting around the city. Some sections have better views than others, but a complete circumnavigation doesn't take more than an hour or so, and is a great expedition. Or drop down, for a pint, or something to eat, at your leisure. Highly recommended.

Sarah brought York to life!
Sarah was great! Incredibly knowledgeable and yet she made everything fun and intriguing. It was very exciting to visit some of these sites on our very first day in York. It made it that much more interesting on successive days as we walked around the city, recognizing landmarks that she pointed out during our tour. And having such an experience at Christmas was a special treat!

Really enjoyed the Christmas guided walking tour. Sarah kept it interesting and we learnt a lot about how Christmas has been celebrated over many years. We were taken into the Assembly Rooms which is now Ask restaurant and saw what a beautiful building it is. The tour is very good value and I would definitely recommend it.
