⭐5 STAR REVIEW⭐
Vicky was amazing - such a great tour!!
Vicky was such a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide! We loved learning about Guy Fawkes, York and her personal experience with the city - it made our trip all the more interesting and special. She really went above and beyond and even had old photographs and print-outs.
The tour was 2.5 hours - a real bang for your buck! She clearly loves doing tours, not to mention that this is a great initiative helping people out of homelessness. We will definitely try the tour in other cities as well. Would 100% recommend! :)
We are so glad that you have enjoyed your tour with Vicki, please keep leaving your lovely reviews on our TripAdvisor!

"Wonderful Guy Fawkes tour with Vikki
What a wonderful person Vikki is, so friendly and knowledgeable. We've been to York several times and even we saw and learned new things. She really is a tour guide like no other ❤"

Our tour guide Vicky was lovely and clearly knew her stuff. Great way to explore York if you're a first timer or a native. Her knowledge of the city goes way beyond Guy Fawkes."

🎉 VICKI TOUR REVIEW🎉
"Walking tour with a difference
Informal and informative tour with a difference. Love that we got a unique experience alongside helping homeless people get back on their feet. Vicky, our tour guide clearly knew her stuff and showed parts of York we'd not seen before.
Her story was thought provoking and her strength to come through it is to be admired. I'd highly recommend it to do something different to other available walking tours!"
We are so happy that you enjoyed Vicki's tour in York. Please keep leaving your reviews on our TripAdvisor pages.
