I am lucky enough to live in this beautiful city. There is always something new to discover. If you have never been, you should make every effort to come and visit. You wont be disappointed.

Absolutely loved York. Bought yarn on Shambles to knit gifts for our children for Christmas that year. Had dinner at Guy Fawkes and was given the recipe for the Guy Fawkes Steak Pie. Such a delight for a Canadian who loves to cook.

I was born in York and spent my youth running around the snickets and alley ways. My mother is in the Terrys Chocolate Works Care Village. A lovely place indeed

[LadyCalverley]

York is my favourite place in the world! I was at the University of Leeds for a study year abroad from Ontario, and it was the first time I ever saw a cathedral, Roman ruins and Medieval buildings. An instant love affair was born. I go back any chance I get-- and I've been on so many Ghost Tours, I could probably lead one myself! I hope to visit later this year. Thank you-- this is wonderful. x

I used to work in York in the later 1960s and it was such a relief to see how little it has changed since then. Thank you.

London is cool but York is the best city in England imo. Hit the night for a pub crawl, great stuff

[georgekaplan]

Visiting York from U.S. in September. Thank you for the information!

[dianneraphael]

A truly incredible tour tonight. My grandparents left all this magnificence behind in 1923 to come to Western Australia
to promised farmlands that turned out to be sandy coastal plains. Many English returned to England.My grandmother wanted
to go home but they stayed and found other work and made a success of things.

Many generations of my family are from York .I live about 12 miles outside of the city, but visit regularly. Wonderful city with a great history,

The production behind this video is fantastic. This is something I would expect to watch on the BBC or PBS. How you transport the audience to your filming location is very impressive. You've made me start searching for houses in the area now, haha.

Your tours are so very enjoyable and in my opinion superior to most others coming out of Britain; your voice is nice, not pretentious, your music is varied and well- designed to enhance your videos nicely! Music can make or break a video and yours see right on! You don’t try to talk above/over the music, and your history-sense is right on—-not snobby, not affected, and we’re allowed to enjoy the walks with you. Thank you for bringing these amazing images into my home in Montana, as I am an avid “Anglophile” and have been to England twice. After watching your video on Winchester, I’ve decided I have a bucket list; top on that list would be to spend a year in Winchester. I have a particular love and admiration for Alfred the Great and would love to tread the land he walked, for more than just a few days’ vacation time. Thank you!

I'm an American who particularly loves your videos exploring the UK. I wish you would visit Wales. I would enjoy learning about historic sites of that region. Thanks for the calm, beautiful, and educational content!

[toddbonin]

I spent four of the happiest days of my life visiting my ancestral home of York. This video was a wonderful return to that magical city … and I will rewatch many times to relive my memories. York is a magical place … and you are a magical tour guide. Bravo!!!

[pinkkittybeans]

Thank you for an amazing video! I am so happy to have stumbled upon your channel. As a poor American Anglophile, I must live vicariously through travel videos, and yours are just simply wonderful! ❤

[Dabedreon]

Fantastic tour. Slow walking and just the right ammount of talking and info. Very well done.

My favourite English City 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Our son spent 3 and a half years at York StJohn University, which is slap-bang in the City centre. How proud we were to see him graduate in the Minster, receiving his BA(Hons) in History from the Archbishop of York.

Fabulous place, genuine people. We loved to visit, just a beautiful experience. Peaceful, confident, unique in its' character with bags of fascinating history. Along with Newcastle, an absolute MUST.

This is such an entertaining, educational video. Really enjoyed it. Thank you.

I’m living in New Zealand now ( 13 years) and this video brought back many memories as I lived the previous 73 years within 15-20 miles of York .Thank you for bringing to light some places and history of which I was not aware…

[karenk]

I absolutely loved this video - wasn't ready for it to be over! Incredible history and buildings certainly makes one feel like they have stepped into a fairy tale. Thank you for another fantastic trip into the past.💕
