My home city is an incredible place and I am fortunate to have lived here for many years. I grew up in York and, despite working away in other parts of England at times, I have always come back to York. As a local I am passionate about York and I like nothing more than to show it off to visitors, passing on my enthusiasm and knowledge of the places that make it so special. For nearly 30 years I have been a geography teacher and I am also a trained geologist, with real interest in the natural world. I can tell you about the history of York, from the Romans to the present day, I can show you how nature and the city come together, and we can even investigate the origins of the stone that makes up the buildings. On or off the beaten track, my tours will give you a real flavour of York and an understanding of what makes this city tick. All my tours can be customized upon request Qualified Geography teacher Masters degree in geology UK Mountain Leader Educated at St. Peter's School in York I will not be able to guide you inside some of the historical monuments, so tours do not go inside some locations, unless pre-arranged.

Immerse yourself in the magic and beauty of York at Christmas. Walk through history along quaint cobbled streets, through snickleways and past imposing and ancient buildings. See the Christmas lights and the Christmas markets (during opening times from 17 November to 23 December) and enjoy a warming drink (not included in the tour price) in the shadow of the Minster.
