Brilliant experience - We had a wonderful tour of York Minster with Dave, he is an engaging and hilarious guide who possesses a wealth of knowledge about the cathedral and city of York. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had an enjoyable experience. If we return to York, we will definitely be signing up to his tour of York city, I wish we'd stayed an extra day so that we could have attended.

A great tour - We learned so much about the rich history behind this magnificent cathedral on our private tour of York Minster. Dave was a great guide and shared many fascinating pieces of history from the many eras that shaped the cathedral. He took us on a tour that included the stories behind many of the notable stained glass windows and other notable architectural design elements of the building. It was a great experience.

Very Informative and Interesting Tour - I can thoroughly recommend this private tour of York Minster. David is a fountain of knowledge and has a real passion for the history of the Minster. He imparts his knowledge in a down to earth and easy to follow manner. We had a great time and the 2-hours passed very quickly. We will definitely return for another visit.

If you’re a history buff, this is a MUST! - I couldn’t recommend Dave enough! I booked this tour after a family member attended one of Dave’s tours in 2023 and emphatically told me I must do it if I’m a history-buff. Dave has a rich and extensive knowledge of York, which he passionately conveys. After our official tour had concluded, he was generous enough to continue on and show me around more of York. This is a must-do in York if you enjoy history and I would definitely suggest putting a few hours aside to make the most of it!
