    I believe the office has moved and we struggled to find it. However a phone call to the tourist officer working there soon resolved that. She was able to answer all our questions and make lots of interesting suggestions. Very helpful.

    The staff was really helpful, offering us translated documentation in French, and informing us about the different bus tour that were available in our language.

    As the park & ride on the road from Harrogate was closed, I foolishly decided to try & park in York. The car park by the Novotel wanted £10 in coins for 4 hours (who carries that amount of coinage on them?); The credit card reader was broken; there is a phone number you can ring (nice if you own a mobile phone which I don't); you can use an app apparently (ditto last comment). Eventually I just gave up & drove on to Harrogate (which is easy to park in & very nice to visit). Obviously York doesn't want tourists who drive so be warned!

    Always great for finding places in York, even if you're just new here it's helpful to ask where certain shops are and get to know where to go and where not to go.

    Staff helpfull, especially one member, she went the extra mile, confirming concert ticket at York Barbican pick up on the night, the Barbican failed to deliver that message but York Info Centre did, returned my Call at Speed with constructive & exact info what I should have received from York Barbican.

    Thank you for your help and advice for pre booking and information, staff were helpful and knowledgeable made the experience a lot easier. If we could have had one wish it would be to have more signs for directions to the other attractions

    I wanted possibly the most basic piece of information you could want , a bus map of York, and they don't stock them. Seriously.

    Tourist information always great. But never recommend the Raj for food. Tried it and a real bad toilet experience. Don't know what they cook with, bleach maybe, nothing like proper Indian cuisine.
