WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY -
‘ We did a walking tour of York with Howard. He is a former policeman so not only does he know the city’s architecture and history very well, but he also knows contemporary York, the people and the culture. He is full of wonderful stories. It was a very well rounded tour - full of history and interesting facts, where he even showed us pictures of how certain highlights used to look like. Overall, Howard was simply fantastic - very engaging and funny. The tour lasted about 3 hours but it went very fast. It was easy to remember so many facts with the way he narrated the events and even told us some personal stories about some of the buildings. I can’t recommend this tour enough ‘
