I'm Chris P., your private tour guide in York
Guide #17866
Hi. My name is ChrisP and thank you for taking the time to read these pages. My first visit to York with my wife changed our lives completely and forever. Following a walking tour of the city, we were so impressed by what we had seen that we made it our goal to move here, eventually fulfilling our dream and now proudly calling York our home. With our family leaving the nest (and no longer having to be Dad's taxi service!) I could develop my passion for guiding. I'd been guiding in the city for some time but could now take my research even further. You might be able to see by the tours that I offer where some of those interests lie. My other love is sport - various activities being played to questionable levels but, in the best of British traditions, I believe that taking part is more important! My tour guiding started some years ago and I have been pleased to represent different organisations and tour companies operating in the city. My experience covers a wide spectrum of visitor activity; individuals, small and large groups, and coach and railway tour parties - all from various meeting points and with quite different requirements and expectations. I have also developed a series of presentations, each based on a walking tour of the city. These are all fully illustrated and delivered to organisations and groups, including Rotary Clubs, history groups, and other local and national organisations. If you look at the tours available from me, you will see that I have included a virtual tour and would be more than happy to discuss this further should you wish. York is unique. I love the opportunity to show visitors the city; not just the obvious and traditional, but also the hidden gems which are only known to a few. I believe York embodies the very best of England - a heritage unequalled anywhere else. Should you be unable to find a tour outline to fit your needs please contact me and we can develop accordingly. Come to York, I guarantee you will not be disappointed! Over 10years of guiding experience throughout the City for individuals and groups, large and small. Admission charges for the many available attractions we have in the City are not included. Having said that admission to the National Railway Museum is, at the time of writing, free of charge.

Chris is a professional guide who knows his stuff. Not only the history, but he listened to our desires and tailored the tour so that we checked every box and a few extras. He is knowledgeable about the history and settings for some of England’s most important sites, and especially devoted time to the James Herriot Museum in Thirsk. For us, that was the highlight of the...

Chris provided great depth, humor, and understanding into to 4 hours of walking York with us. From Roman structures & ruins onward he brought us through the people and history to complete the 1000 year plus story of this town. Thank you, Chris!

Chris was an exceptional tour guide. His knowledge of York was extensive. He took us to several unique sites of interest that we would not have found alone. He personalized the tour based on our interests. His approach is professional but fun. Simply put, we had a great time and highly recommend Chris.

Chris communicated well before the tour and personalized the tour based on our (my) interests, including adjusting the start and end times of the tour to avoid crowds and to assure we had time to see the places I had indicated were important to see. Would highly recommend him as your guide to historic York, including the York Minster. If his suggested tour example does...
