It is an active voice sentence.
Explanation:
To find out if the sentence is in active or passive voice you have to look at the form of the verb.
The passive voice sentence has a verb in form
to be + Past Participle.
Verb to be can be used ia any tense.
For example:
-
Many houses have been built recently. (Present Perfect)
-
Scary stories were told to the class. (Past Simple)
-
A new road will be built next year. (Future Simple)
In given sentence the form of the verb is told, so it is an active voice sentence (in Past Simple tense)
