Highlights
Join us for this half day walking tour of York, which gives you a great overview of this beautiful city in Yorkshire. This walled city has so much to offer, from Roman history, through the Vikings, to the Chocolate merchants and Harry Potter. Maybe you’re passing through the area, but if not it’s just a 2 hour train ride from London, it’s easily reachable for a day trip.
Itinerary
York Railway Station
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeStarting from York’s magnificent 19th century train station, we make our way towards the walled City. Whilst not much remains of the original Roman walls, the refurbished sections let us stroll in safety whilst enjoying a privileged view.Museum Gardens
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeOnce inside the walls we cross the River Ouse, then enter the Museum gardens, giving us the chance to look around St Mary’s Abbey. Historically this grand building was a very rich monastery, originally built in the 11th century home to the Benedictine Monks, it was dissolved in 16th century. Only a few walls remain, however you can still see the Abbots house and its various styles owing to years of change. Maybe your guide can point out the window belonging to the room where Henry VIII stayed!Jorvik Viking Centre

Your guide will explain how the Vikings first came to York, using its location on the rivers Ouse and Foss to establish a prosperous trading port.Shambles
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeAs if by magic we get to the start of The Shambles, the medieval shopping street. Even though none of Harry Potter was filmed here, you can just imagine walking down Diagon Alley, now’s your chance to pick up a wand or broom! If you have children in your group they might catch a glimpse of one the many sculpted cats lurking here and all over the city.Clifford's Tower
30 minsAdmission Ticket Not IncludedLike many other towns and cities York also has a castle. Built in the traditional method as a motte and bailey castle by the Normans, it hides some particularly disturbing history about the Jewish community in 12th century.

30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeYork has always been a centre of commerce, early residents in need of a venue for charity, worship and business commissioned the construction of the Merchant Adventurers Hall.

1 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedLike something from a fairytale, we wind our way through the quirky little alleyways. Stick with your guide and mind your head, you won’t have to worry about getting lost. Eventually we approach the magnificent structure of York Minster, the largest Gothic Cathedral north of the Alps. With your guide, you will explore both the past and the present of this grand building.
