York Minster Enterprises Reviews

What can be said that hasn't already been said about York Minster. A jewel in the crown of the City. Quite magnificent in its construction, history and as a place of worship. Take a guided tour to learn about the real history, the people, the lovely stained glass windows and the tragedies that have happened there. Then just stop, take a moment of time for yourself and breathe in the atmosphere - quite special.

This is such a beautiful cathedral you can spend a few hours in here. Good that your tickets are valid for 12 months so you can use them again without paying within the 12 months

Pretty, but not worth the entrance fee! 10 pounds for the church, plus 5 for the tower.

Very beautiful we went up to the chapter house tower it was amazing

You need 3 to 4 hours to appreciate the Minster. Lovely building and the work is still being done after the fire

Without a doubt a beautiful building which must require imense funding for preservation and upkeep. Although other heritage buildings like Lincoln and Durham Cathedral allow those who don't want to pay for a full visit to at least see a view of the aisle, unless you pay to proceed further than the roped off section in the top corner entrance, there is very little to see of the inside of York Minster. I feel this is a shame, sitting slightly uncomfortably against the nature of what this building represents and for what it was intended.

Really beautiful and such an interesting history. Tour guides very good an have a wealth of knowledge. Under Croft interesting and can wall through in about half hour. Didn't have time for tower climb however walking around York incl. City wall gives you great views.

Recommend to use tour guide, excellent knowledge from Wendy Brookes. You could spend as much time as you want here, lots to see. Absolutely beautiful and amazing history.

Great historical value, and a place for prayer. Slightly disappointed by the disrespect shown by some tourists.

I went before closing 30 but couldn't get it ...
As if you care about time

You can't go to York without paying a visit to this beautiful building it's amazing

York Minster is a beautiful historical building which I thought would be a lovely Christmas setting to celebrate our, on coming Christmas, with a visit to the Christmas Carol concert, however we are so dissapointed with the scaffolding which was erected directly behind the choir, which looked very very untidy,no effort was made to cover this up with a back drop or some kind of screenings.
There was no up to date Christmas songs sang by the choir ie: Slient night, We three kings..

Had a lovely meal in a very relaxing pub restaurant, great place to rest after recharge on route around historic York. Lovely staff, and lots of different rooms to offer group meals or quiet spaces, recommend a visit, thanks

A wonderful building. Amazing stone work. I had no time to take a guided tour of the interior on this occasion.

Lovely but chilly at this time of year, wear a coat

Today's architects could learn a lot from the past builders.

By the time we go to the minster, a service was in progress so we weren't able to look around.

You have to pay to enter and it's wrong, it's a church

Sorry photos were taken at night
The main thing I felt about this building is the sheer size.. its huge.
Absolutely beautiful inside, architecture is stunning

Somehow a bit disappointing. Perhaps my expectations were too high. Seemed very much more like a money making tourist attraction than a sacred place.

Beautiful architecture, with helpful staff. It is also wheelchair accessible, which is a bonus.

Such a fun cute and historical area and town to be in. Shopping eating and learning about the history. Oh and wonderful walking. ...that being said, lots of people agree, as there are a lot of people here.

Just been to an amazing Pentecost Service in York Minster, great speakers . Organised by One Voice.

It wasn't open to the public when we arrived, it didn't matter though as we saw a Peregrine falcon sitting on one of the spires. A truly beautiful building!!

It's monumental as it unfolds in front of us through the narrow streets ... a magnificent edifice.

Sadly i couldnt afford to enter most the places in york but from fhe outside wow it was beautiful. This was probably about 1 year ago and i envy how happy i looked as that was probably the last day i felt like that. York is a beautiful and peaceful place. And a dream place to live. Sadly thats all it would ever be A dream. But wow if your lucky enough to live on or near york i envy you for getring to see the minister etc. Lucky people!

Wonderful views from the top. Absolutely stunning building. The underground exhibition is first class. A must see.

Very nice cathedral in York beautiful stained glass windows and beautiful architecture. A must to visit when in York

Love york beautiful city x Christmas market is a must

Amazing cathedral surrounded by such rich historical shops, architecture, and buildings.

Very helpful staff, along with a good one way system & safe feel

This is fantastic for a visit, lots of information on the Roman history of York. It is absolutely steeped in history.
To be inside here and think how long the building has stood and how well detailed all of the craftwork is, is truly amazing.

I thought it was amazing, a must see if your in york

The imposing cathedral is one of the two largest medieval ones in northern Europe. 4 stars, because the cross could not be entered. Admission is paid and information indicates that you can also climb one of the three towers.

Most beautiful building in the most beautiful city in the most beautiful county of them all...

The second largest gothic cathedral in the whole of Northern Europe. A true feast for the eyes and a wonderful building in all its greatness. Located in the centre of York, with many things to do around the same area. I spent hours admiring the detail on the York minster cathedral, and researched all about its history and origins. This cathedral took around 500 years to build and was completed in 1472, most of it still intact to this day. I highly recommend visiting this place.

Amazing tour guide and insanely interesting. I was blown away by the stories and history, so interesting and beyond what you would imagine.

York Minster, the cathedral of York and the seat of Archbishop of York

Beautiful architecture and stunning windows. Free entry for children too.

I didn't go inside, but the outside is amazingly beautiful.

A lovely building. It is overwhelming with the columns and stained glass windows.

Nicely restored stained glass. Informative and interesting guided tours.

Beautiful but full of tourists. Great day out though

Steeped in history and sharing it successfully with tours, roving volunteer experts and a museum in the crypt. The organ is currently being overhauled but a substitute served very effectively for a lovely evensong service. We visited both days in our stay in York.

Wow.. so big!! We never went into york minster as it was over 20 quid for 2 adults, which for a tour is over priced.. but the building itself is very impressive..

Enormous and impressive cathedral. Spectacular from the inside and out! Includes the largest medieval stain glass window in Europe on the east wall (opposite side from the entrance). There is free entry to the Minster for York uni students. For a small additional fee you can go up the tower for great views of the city. A museum in the crypt outlines the history of the Minster and is well worth a visit. If you're not a York student, you can get free entry (sort of) by attending one of the daily services.

Loverly town . Fantastic cathedral. Loads to see and do

Definitely a place worth visiting. They have guided tours every hour. The experience of the visit is completely different when guided. Also, the guides are pretty good. They are volunteers and it shows that they have passion for what they do.

The climb to the top of the tower is strenuous and very claustrophobic. Beware.

I had the good luck to visit while the bells were pealing. The sheer sensory scale of the place was moving. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Check out the Roman remains in the crypt!

Living in York means you almost forget about this place, but it is a beautiful place both inside and out, I DO NOT agree with having to pay to go in, but if it is a once in a lifetime trip, then it has to be done.

Looking very similar to Notre Dame in Paris but much more spectacular!

This place is beautiful. Absolutely a must see if your in the area. I had a great time at it. Soo cool

It's quite clear that it's the biggest gothic church in the north of Europe, it's massive, but it's not the most beautiful I have ever seen. The windows inside needed a restoration which I know they are starting with a huge project. Despite of this I recommend a visit especially doing the 275 steps to go on top of the tower enjoying the view of York, it worth the extra 5 pounds.
