Terrific tour! York has so many things to see. We loved our visit, (I won't say how) many years ago. I have a photo of the red devil on the corner in the Shambles. As a lover of both Viking and Roman history, it is wonderful to see those places again. It appears the Yorvik Viking Center has upgraded their experience even more. The Yorkshire museum is fantastic, with actual sections of Abbey stone arches coming out of the wall; hope you get to see it one day. Looking forward to your Minster tour. I recall seeing a photo in a shop nearby that showed flames through the rose window from a fire back in the early 1980s. I know you sometimes visit locations outside the UK; Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Germany also has city walls you can walk and a ghost tour; the town dates back to the 13th century.
