Overview

When you've booked for a tour you'll be met at the Guy Fawkes Inn, opposite Michael Le Belfrey's church. From there you'll learn about the famous conspirators and the gun powder plot, in the very birthplace of Guy Fawkes himself!

We'll then preceed to York Minster yard, where you'll learn all about the Minsters rich history. We'll also visit several other famous spots in York, including The Shambles, Museum Gardens, and many more!

The important thing to remember when booking, is that no 2 tours are the same! Depending on how much time you have and what your interests are I'll make each tour as personalised as I'm able.

The tour stops listed are just a few of many other places I can take you in York, so if you decide to come back for another tour, you can guarantee it will be very different from the previous excursion!

However, if you find you're pressed for time, that's not a problem! I can focus on the places you're interested in, and wrap everything up to fit into your schedule.

    I Took a Tour With Dave Recently and it Was Outstanding. I’ve done several tours in the Uk over Recent Years while Visiting and Dave’s was By Far the Best Hands Down. For most tours it’s the usual whip about the general sites with most guides having learned from a script. With Dave this is not the case, Dave Does a Great Job Highlighting the Sites of York while taking you back in time and giving insight into the Who, What,Why, When and How of the Places you are Visiting, And how these Events play into not only the History of York but the History of the Uk. Dave Not Only takes you to the Sites but In Some Cases takes you Inside these Places such as the Guy Fawkes Inn, giving a great History and Insight into the History of the Gunpowder Plot and The Characters behind it. For those looking for a Thirst for Knowledge and An Open Mind into York and Its History, Look No Further than Dave Haw and his Exceptional Knowledge of the City of York.

    I was not able to make it for Dave's tour of York but did have the pleasure of meeting him at Guy Fawkes Inn while having dinner. Dave is a very interesting and knowledge man/guide. I had so many questions about the places that I had seen while exploring York and he addressed each and every one. If you happen to be in York and want a guide that knows what is what seek him out!! Thank you Dave for your stories about York and the surrounding area. 😁
