★★★★★

"This is a delightful way to view the city and it was peaceful to do after sightseeing most of the day. The staff were very lovely and the bar was good. A lovely way to finish our first day in York with a glass of prosecco, light music with no commentary and a tranquil view of the River Ouse."
