Mad Alice is the best tour guide we've ever had the pleasure of meeting. From the first minute and throughout the tour she had us laughing and enthralled at her stories. Her recall of names in our group was incredible and as a result everyone felt included. We have done five tours during our stay in York which were all great but this by far tops them all. This is an experience but too be missed. Thank you mad Alice from Laura and Elaine

Friendly, informative and funny throughout. Alice was very engaging and great with quite a large group and chatted with individuals between stops. Family friendly but not dumbed down or insipid. Importantly, even though I wear hearing aids and often struggle to hear at with others, Alice was clear all the time.
Amazing host

I went on the tour with my partner and his family, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it! We were all super impressed with Mad Alice's knowledge, storytelling skills, and enthusiasm. The fact that she memorised peoples names and interacted with people in the tour was awesome and made the experience even more special. 10/10, would definitely recommend to anyone passing through York!
Brilliant informative stroll

The guide - Mad Alice- was amazing- funny, warm, informative and she has such an amazing memory that she knew all our names from bookings and then knew the names of everyone throughout and talked to all individuals in such a friendly and engaging way. We told her she should perform at The Fringe as she would be very good!!!

Mad Alice not only gave us lots of factual information as we walked around York, she made it humorous.
There was some audience participation at the end and it made everyone laugh. She remembered everyone's names and referred to each of us throughout the tour, which was a nice personal touch. The hour and a half went very quickly.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
