    Do not hesitate to book Sally - you will have a great time!

    "We usually book Withlocals whenever we travel abroad. Due to travel restrictions we thought we would try the experience at home and it did not disappoint. We live near to York and visit many times over the year. We thought we knew most things about York - we didn't. We learnt so much from Sally. Her passion and enthusiasm for York is evident and her knowledge is incredible. All the interesting things we never noticed before and became fascinated by. We have never walked the walls and it was a beautiful way to see York from a different angle. You will learn a lot, be fascinated by York's history and be given great recommendations for shopping and restaurants/bars. There are many places we want to try now that we would never have found ourselves. Plus we had the tastiest pork pies ever! Thank you Sally xx"
