So glad we booked this! - 3 adults and 2 children (3 & 8) - wasn’t sure what to expect but wow was great from start to finish, kids loved it and our 3 year old not stopped talking about it. Very interactive, light hearted and a great way to spend 90 mins in York - would 1000% do it again.

Must do activity in York - Absolutely brilliant time on the Wizard tour of York. Saw some interesting details we wouldn’t have noticed if walking around ourselves. Our wizard was excellent- just the right amount of jokes, great tricks and reacted well to some very smart children in the group. Excellent value for money, would highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic 👏 👌 - We did this on Monday, and it was a brilliant, unforgettable experience that we all thoroughly enjoyed. The Wizard was absolutely fantastic. The tour was full of jokes and tricks, but also, our host had made sure everyone felt very safe on the walk. This amazing tour is worth every penny. Thank you so much for a very fun and entertaining afternoon. I would highly recommend it.

Great Fun! Kept the kids enthralled and moving! - Great fun! Don’t take this seriously and don’t expect to learn about the history of York! Instead you get a fun activity for kids and adults alike, with the ability to orient yourself around the city centre. Bottom line is that the kids were occupied, got some exercise in by moving around for 90 mins and were happy and content to !

Like the pied piper, my kids were spellbound following the Wizard! - A great experience for the children and adults alike with plenty of gags and wit from the wizard - many of them being dad worthy!. The children were enthralled and my two young ones were spellbound following the wizard around York city centre. It’s a fun way to orient yourself around the city centre and keep kids occupied for 90 mins or so!
