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.

Planning a holiday can be complicated. You want to see and do as much as possible yet your time in York is limited. This could be the tour for you! In about two hours we will take in York's key historical sites including The Minster, St Mary's Abbey, Kings Manor, and of course, The Shambles. We shall also share some of the city's secrets that most people miss - An escaped bear in Museum Gardens, what Yorkies call an alleyway, where three English Kings stayed, but two Queens never met- and so much more. From Romans to Victorians we shall explore the fascinating lives, times, and places that have made York's history the history of England - and all before lunch, or tea if you prefer.
