A really well rounded tour that covered plenty of ground but not too much to overwhelm. We were able to see not only core landmarks of the city but also learn about some of the smaller details that would have been overlooked had we explored on our own. It was a pleasure to meet Maryia, she was great to listen to, made everyone feel welcome and also added a lot of fun to our tour. For the price and the duration we were very happy with our tour and it was a great introduction to the beautiful city of York!

Marye knew the history of York and showed us major sites. We didn’t go into any of them nor did we climb the wall. So I was a bit disappointed.

This was a wonderful walking tour led by a warm and caring tour guide who ensured we had a special experience. Mariya’s love for York was evident in the way she spoke about its history, answered our questions and talking about the meaning living in this wonderful city had for her family. I would highly recommend this tour and would suggest planning it at the beginning of your stay because you will come away with so many ideas and recommendations of what to see during your time here.
