My first Worldpackers experience was fantastic! Katrin and Johnny were wonderful hosts who always made sure I was comfortable. They gave me great tips for exploring York and nearby cities. I loved playing with their daughter Emily, and baby Louisa is adorable. The work was simple, and I had plenty of time to explore the city. The guest house was conveniently located near the train station and city center. I had an incredible time thanks to them. I highly recommend this experience.

My experience with Katie and Johnny was incredible! They are kind and attentive and made me feel at home! The tasks are mostly housekeeping and helping with painting the witches' new house. Johnny does an impressive job as a carpenter! Working hours are as agreed and you often work less than 5 hours a day. I recommend this experience to anyone who wants to help a family that is running their own business and enjoy getting to know York and nearby cities! The Guest House is super well located! In a 15 minutes walk you will be at the train station and in 25 minutes in the city center!

My time with Jonny and Katy was really healing and exciting as a first time solo-traveller. I felt comfortable within their home, got to know their family, and connected with the girl with whom I shared the room. The work is incredibly reasonable and I even got to help with some construction, which was really nice after losing a lot of my tool access after graduation from university. They taught us some traditional games, we ate at their house weekly, and they had great suggestions for what to do in York. York is very beautiful, calm, and full of local culture. Thanks to them both!

Thank you for everything! It was a great experience, I enjoyed having a nice space to sleep shared with Cintia (another lovely volunteer). The room had a private kitchen and laundry, so it was like a tiny apartment. The working hours were perfect and the work was at least for me, easy. Katrin and Johnny were open and friendly people, Emily was a lovely kid, I had a nice time with this family. My fav room was the Witches, lovely theme room, that makes you feel like a real witch! Best energy guys!

It was my first time volunteering and it couldn't have been better. Johnny, Katrin and Emily were very kind and friendly from the moment I arrived. The work is easy and you do it in the morning, which allows you to have the afternoon free. Everything was very nice, I would recommend this stay 100%, thanks for the good vibes.

Katrim and Johnny are very kind and considerate hosts. They are a beautiful family. They care about making me feel comfortable and happy. I had my own room and kitchen with everything I needed. Work is always in the morning, some days easier than others, you can finish early and have the afternoon to enjoy York. It is a small but veeeery charming city, have history, parks and nice walks. I was able to visit nearby cities by bus and train. In general the Yorkshire area is very beautiful.

Katrin and Johnny are incredible people. From the moment I arrived they were kind, welcoming and showed me around the rooms and where I would be staying. The room is great, very comfortable and cosy with food included. The workload is very manageable and I had more then enough time to explore the city which is stunning. The city centre is a short 15 minute walk along the river. I loved everyday here, Katrin, Johnny and their beautiful daughter Emily became like family. Emily is the sweetest little girl and all of them will hold a special place in my heart forever.

This expierence it was awesome, i meet nice people at the guests house and in the city as well, York is an astounding city with a lot of places to visit, historical place and also with a viking culture. The days are beautiful but the night are the best with vibrating fun people leaving the pubs. If you like Harry Potter that's your place. Johnny and katrin are a greatest couple, open to talk to you and let you know all you need with the task, city places to visit and also make you feel comfortable in their place. I'm so happy to have been here and improve my skills and meet nice people (J&K)

I have no words to thank for the time I spent in York. Kristen and Johnny were extremely kind and friendly. The work is not difficult, but you need to be committed and attentive to details. But at no point there is any pressure from them. They make us feel at ease and always have time for other activities after the shift. The city of York is very beautiful, you can enjoy it everyday. The room was pleasant for me, as it was the space to have our meals. I recommend it and would definitely come back! Thank you two for this experience. It was a pleasure to meet you!

I had a nice time at Katy and Johny's house. The tasks were communicated every day and they were easy and as we had agreed. You have plenty of time to explore the city, which is really beautiful. I got the chance to spend some time with the family and babysit Emily, their eldest daughter. She is a lovely girl! This is a great experience if you're looking to get to know a beautiful historic city and have some relaxing time as well.
