York's ONLY tour specifically created for children!

The Wizard Walk of York is designed to be fun for ALL the family, especially children! Expect laughter and amazement in equal measures on this enchanting tour of York's historic streets.

Interactive magical fun with plenty of surprises along the way. Dad jokes, puns, slapstick, storytelling magic and illusion...all the ingredients for a truly memorable five-star family experience.

An ideal alternative to the many ghost walks in York too. The Wizard Walk of York features no spooky ghosts and no scary stories…expect FUN over frights (and no nightmares back at the hotel!)
