Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The varied detailed topics researched by guide, & gentle pace that the walk covered. This allowed time 4 unhurried question & answer time.

Fascinating look at York through the eyes of a history and geology professor at the local university. Loved how he explained the Roman origins of York using geological mapping. We also hunted for fossils in the paving stones! Extremely knowledgeable.

What a fantastic experience. Liam and Simon gave an entertaining and fascinating account of York, that as a resident of thirty years, I had no knowledge of what I’ve walked past a thousand times. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Well told, sready paced tour along the Fosse and Ouse, full of history and making interesting connections. We are locals and learned a lot. Simon had maps and old photographs that we passed round and compared with the present view. There was wit and wisdom and every question had a full yet brief answer. Real value for money!

This was a really interesting and informative walk. Guides were really clued up on the subject, and made it fun too.

A really stimulating and interesting look at York from a completely different perspective. We learnt so much. Great complement to the Fire walk. Definitely worth doing.

We did the Water Walk yesterday having done the Earch Walk in October. Both with the PLACE organisation. We throughly recommend the Walks done by very knowledgeable guides. They detail extensive info that you'll never find out for yourself on the history of York. Well worth it. We'll have to do the other tours.
