We thoroughly enjoyed our walk in York! We had very little time in the city and it was then great when Alex booked us in on a tour where Dudley then took us on an "exploration" of the city as he called it. We saw a huge amount of sights and heard lots about the history of the city! Really awesome two hours! Thanks!

This tour was fantastic from the second we’d booked it!! The communication from Ian was quick and efficient, much helped by the fact that he does all the organising/booking/tours himself so he knows exactly what he’s doing. The tour itself was just so informative, I cannot believe that one person can remember that many facts and dates, Ians knowledge verges on encyclopaedic! I won’t say too much about the places that you visit as you need to book and see for yourselves. What I will say though is that is was fun, informative, good value for money, breathtaking and that chances are we will return to Liverpool with family next year and do this tour again, hopefully the weather will be better next time, but even that wasn’t enough to dampen our spirits. Thank you Ian, it was a real pleasure to meet you!

Explore the back streets of the Northern Quarter, find film locations and street art and discover how ceramic art transformed the area into the city's coolest district. You can also cast a critical eye on things as you learn about issues facing the city from social justice to public spaces. The tour tracks the transformation of the Northern Quarter since the 1970s when it was in decline in the wake of our first American-style shopping mall, the Arndale Centre, opening. The area, the one with the highest density of protected buildings in the city, was cited by cultural icon Tony Wilson in the early 90s as being 'our Detroit' owing to a mass evacuation of businesses. Abandoned and ruined it was the public art that turned the area around from 1998 onwards. The tour discovers that original ceramic art trail and uses more modern street art in order to weave together the narrative. I donate 10% of profits to local causes. Sustainable, thoughtful and inclusive tourism since 2012.

Inclusions: All Fees and Taxes

All round great place to visit but compared to lots of other stadiums I have been to the staff dealing with drinks and food do not know how to do their jobs not isolated I tried three different stations and had each sever had to ask for help to get two drinks and a piece of food over the line lol , totally inept staff causing massive queuing problems and making people angry and frustrated Man City management need to grip this problem it spoils a great experience
