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.

Tagged onto this tour as it’s free, and we’d just failed the escape room. It was fun and interesting, loved the style which Harry has adopted, it’s quirky and reminded me of a jumanji’s character. Well done Harry, really enjoyed it.

We’ll worth taking an hour and half for a relaxed wander around the centre of Harrogate. Entertaining and informative. If there’s one thing you should do when you visit Harrogate, it’s this. When you do it, you’ll understand.

I was born & bred in harrogate and i learnt lots about our beautiful town i did not know! A really enjoyable 1.5 hours, harry was really enthusiastic and informative! Harry is a great public speaker and very personable, and seemed a thoroughly nice person. Go as soon as you can. Would recommend to visitors and residents alike!

A witty and educational walk taken at a slow pace so plenty of time to take in the surroundings and to plan the rest of your days, if you only do 1 thing….

I have taken 100's of city tours round the world over the years, but never come across anybody like Harry before. He starts by introducing himself to everyone individually (and has the ability to remember everyone's name throughout the tour) He is very honest and admits that if he can't think of and answer to a question 'He will Blag it'. His tour is interesting, funny, very enjoyable and gives you a very good introduction to Harrogate. and you will never forget 'Harry'

I am Harrogate born and bred so had insider knowledge, however as we had relatives from overseas with us thought we should showcase our home town. Harry was excellent, knowledgeable and funny and we loved the tour. I learnt things I was unaware of and was great to see Harrogate through a visitors eyes. Well done Harry for your brilliant idea and energy , I would recommend this to anyone. It’s a free service but absolutely worth a generous tip 😊. Thank you so much .

Will this be available on 3rd November 2018 as we are visiting Harrogate then? What other attractions are recommended. We are there for the weekend.
Thankyou

Hi Jacqueline,
Sorry to have not back to you sooner!
As yet my Winter tour dates have not been finalised but I will have an answer for you in the next few weeks! If regular tours are not running however, I would be delighted to organise a free private tour for you on the 3rd November 2018.
While you are here in Harrogate I would definitely recommend visiting the Valley Gardens with there beautiful New Japanese gardens. The Pump Rooms museum is a excellent way to discover Harrogates past as well as the beautiful Mercer Art gallery.
If you have the opportunity to visit the Turkish Baths or see a show at the stunning Royal Hall then these are also great for really getting to know what Harrogate has to offer.
I hope this has been helpful and I promise to get back to you in the near future regarding my winter schedule.
Thanks for getting in touch and I look forward to speaking to you soon.
All the best,
Harry
