Brilliant Golden Tours - First I would like to say I was by myself sat on a table near the art gallery! I approached the ticket person next to golden tours to ask a question. He was soo rude and dismissive! So asked the people on Golden Tours a question and the difference in attitude was amazing! So friendly and helpful. The experience and the ride was brilliant. I thought I knew a bit about York. How wrong was I? Led by Rich, it was such an informative and fun ride around York. Rich has a brilliant and humorous delivery that made the entire ride hilarious. Also he has mad skills behind the wheel getting up and around Yorks tiny streets! All in all an absolutely brilliant attraction. Sat upstairs in the sun listening to Yorks past was really, really great. Thank you all so much.

Great overview of the city of York. - This was our first visit to York. We booked the tour with the reps in Exhibition Square. Had a lovely hour in the sun seeing the sights round the city. I’m unable to walk far due to knee surgery so this seemed a good way to get an overview of the city and its history without the leg work. For the more mobile it’s great to be able to hop on and off at different points of interest at your leisure. The recorded commentary was clear and audible and very informative. We booked this trip with the river cruise too. Would definitely recommend it to visitors to the city.
