Good little tour. Not far to walk - but lots of interesting information to take in. I have done a couple of York tours previously and know the city fairly well, but this was a good choice as it was mostly about Christmas, its; origins and traditions but in the context of the city - and who can't love York? Sarah is very engaging, personable and enthusiastic. Recommended. And it was cold, but I thought that it added to the atmosphere!

Sarah was great today on the walking tour. Very entertaining and lots of information was shared. As a walking tour there wasn't much walking but that was because the stops were all close together. An enjoyable tour... Wrap up warm tho!!!
