5.00Xmas Eve walk. Sarah was great, she’s a talented story teller and it was different to the usual ghost walks. Really informative but light hearted and easy to keep listening for 90 mins
Very informative

5.00Sarah was funny & engaging in her storytelling, giving us vivid historical accounts of the Romans & Viking influences in York. Our train was delayed & caused us to be slightly late to meet but she was responsive & helpful on email. My daughter & I very much enjoyed the walking tour & intro to York!

5.00Myself and my 8 year old recently had the pleasure of joining Sarah’s Christmas lights tour in York, and it was truly an enchanting experience. Sarah led us through the charming cobbled streets, expertly weaving in tales of York’s festive traditions. The tour struck the perfect balance of festive cheer, history, and personal touch. It wasn’t just a walk through beautiful lights, but an immersive journey into the heart of Christmas in York. Highly recommended ⭐️🌲⭐️🌲⭐️
