Great tour but no promised photo

We had a small group for our 11 am Harry Potter tour on March 21st. It was great fun and our tour guide Ellie was knowledgeable. However we had a.photo taken that we were told was going to be uploaded to the instagram site and over two months later we are still waiting despite a message to the site.

Great Fun

Molly our guide was Brilliant, very interesting and fun.. Told us about so much history of York and Harry Potter too of course, we played games, answered questions. There was only 5 on our tour including Molly, we all laughed a lot.I would definitely recommend this tour to anybody. I've recently started booking up for walking tours in any new town or city I visit now. I've even started doing walking tours in my own city too.
