Went as a way for my other half to see they best bits of York and get a guided tour on the way and this did exactly what we were after! We were guided by Sherlumbo who was great fun but incredibly knowledgeable and gave us a great insight into the history of this amazing city. The tour was really well organised and takes you round all the landmarks whilst having you laughing all the way. Nice little addition with the stop off at York Chocolate Story for a treat too!

The tour was well organised, informative and fun. The guide was knowledgeable and engaged with all in the party irrespective of their age. He highlighted some really interesting historical points of interest and we enjoyed his enthusiasm whilst explaining them to us. The development of chocolate products in York was also well received and the tasting was very much appreciated.
