    Brilliant Tour! Unique and Entertaing! A++++

    Nathalie_T, Jul 2024
    Dorian does it again! As a long time fan, this new tour is a brilliant addition to his offerings!! Great delivery through the headphone system with added bonuses like the soundtrack and local knowledge and truly unique stories. Bravely shying from the well known to give an interesting telling of Yorks lesser known murky past to ensure even well read attendees learn many new stories. A must for all visiting or residing in York!!
