Essential Free walking tours of York

The tour with Ellen was very interesting and refreshing. Even though I’m not so interested in Roman History, she made it really fun and entertaining. It was the right pace, enough Spots and some cool hidden spots, you’re probably overseeing when exploring alone. Thanks again Ellen :-)

Ellen was great, i really enjoyed the tour.

Ellen was very nice and eventhough we were only the 2 of us for the tour she made it just for us. She tries the best for us to understand everything and she speaks slowly to us because we don't speak english. She made the tour very interesting and wonderfull. Thank You Ellen for the tour🙂

Such a great way to explore York! Ellen was fantastic as she shared interesting stories, fact s & sites relating to the Roman settlement of York. The sites were fascinating & not crowded, enabling us to get up close to actual Roman ruins. Yay! She shared a few non- roman info too, answering questions & wonderings the group members had. I really enjoyed our time in York. I highly recommend this tour. Thanks again Ellen. 👏🏽

Muy bien el!

Fantastic, interesting and fun tour - Ellen has put a lot of thought into how to showcase a multitude of Roman treasures into an hour and a half! We left seeing the city in a completely new lens - such fascinating history and beautiful buildings and interesting places. She also gave us some great recommendations for local bars which we went to afterwards! An excellent way to make the most of your time in York - highly recommended.

Wonderful tour, Ellen is very knowledgeable and friendly, she knows a lot about York and its history, plus she is very kind and helps you with anything. It was a very pleasant, entertaining and educational experience. I highly recommend it!

Brilliant tour James was knowledgeable and fun because there were only 2 of us he taylored the tour to what we wanted to see which was great.

James was a wonderful guide: enthusiastic, knowledgeable, interesting warm and friendly. His guided walk has made our trip to York special and should be part of everyone’s visit!

The Best free tour I have ever taken in My whole life. James knows everything about York's history.

Fue un excelente recorrido por York. Habíamos recién llegado, y el paseo nos vino muy bien para conocer algo de la historia de la ciudad y de sus edificios. El guía James fue muy amable y entretenido. Lo recomiendo

The tour with James is really worth participation. You will learn a lot on York and its history as well visit the must-see places. The tour, however rich in details, is conducted in a very friendly manner in comparison to some other guides who seem to be rather more focused on dates and facts only. I mean they are a bit stiff and 'machine like', which I experienced myself during the visit to York. I like comparing services and for me James's is excellent.

James was very informative and easygoing and fun. he is a great guru because he loves what he is doing

We really enjoyed James’ tour. A good blend of historical and local knowledge/recommendations. The route was great and James was great at tailoring the tour to the interests of the group.

Great tour. Fun, interesting and informative. Kudos to James.
