“A wonderful tour full of intriguing, fascinating and secret details, all told with enthusiasm and generosity. A perfect start to our visit to York. Thank you!” Jonathan & Cathy
“Maria’s tour was great fun for the whole family. She was very engaging and made facts interesting to the kids. They were buzzing with new connections that they made with York. Every time we go for a walk in town now they want to go places that Maria told them about. And after living in York for 10 years even we’ve discovered new hidden gems. Highly recommend for families with kids!” Daria, York
