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.

What travellers are saying
- Charlotte O1 contributionI'm so glad I booked this tour on our weekend away to York. My kids (and us parents) absolutely LOVED it. We were laughing throughout the whole tour. He kept both my boys (5&9) fully engaged and my eldest kept telling me how funny the wizard was. The route was great steering us away from the busy streets at times. I would highly recommend this tour and its a shame we don't live in York else we would be booking a birthday party tour!Written 2 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Barney26153Perth, Australia5 contributionsGreat tour. Chris was so knowledgeable and patient when our train was delayed.
Whitby fish and chips at Angel Fisheries was delicious, locally caught cod and locally grown potatoes. We ordered a small serve but couldn't eat it all.Written 15 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Jess P3 contributionsAbsolutely wonderful, no faults! I received a call the evening before to confirm everything & to check for any dietary requirements and also to ensure I knew where to go. Found the location with ease and was greeted on time. We were given blankets to keep us warm which was a nice touch. The ride was peaceful and scenic, you could almost convince yourself that roads and cars didn’t exist! We learnt so much about the estate, the history of the area and the wildlife, as well as the touching stories about the rescue horses. Really glad to know the horses now have good lives with you, and that we were lucky enough to meet the lovely Ben, the most gentle of horses.
After the carriage ride, we were taken back to the meeting point and into the tea room for our afternoon tea. Everything was set up for us and we could help ourselves to a range of hot drinks (or squash). The selection of food was fantastic and there was plenty of it - so much so that we took our scones away for a treat later on.
Thank you so much for making our Nanna’s 80th birthday one to remember.Written 10 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Simon was really interesting to listen too and shared a wealth of information. Very enjoyable.Written 13 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Bell1 contributionOur tour guide Simon was full of passion about his knowledge of the history of York. So many interesting facts we learned along the way. This was a fantastic tour that we would highly recommend to anyone of any age. Super value for money.Written 28 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jane N2 contributionsA 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.Written 13 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Chris AIngleby Cross, UK3 contributionsWe 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.Written 14 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
