YORK HISTORICAL PUB TOUR

Our tour guide Mike was extremely knowledgeable, he made the tour extremely enjoyable and interesting, my husband and I had a thoroughly enjoyable evening and look forward to visiting York again, so much to see and learn about.

Wendy_A - November 10th, 2022

Great way to get a flavour of the history of York

Cannot rate this tour highly enough! Met Mike outside the Punch Bowl at 14;00 for a 3hr , 7 pub tour. Also included historical facts of buildings & stories between pubs. The time flew by! Knowledgeable but more importantly humorous,& willing to amend itinerary as we went along. Good value for money. Gave us a invaluable insight into the history of York and also which pubs to revisit. Such a great way, on the 1st day of a 3 night visit to plan the rest of our stay Highly re recommended.
