Overview

Why follow the crowds? At Yorktour we believe a great tour should also be a fun conversation, which is why we guarantee there will be no more than eight participants so everyone can ask questions and no-one needs to worry about being left at the back! This family-friendly walking tour includes all the key sights - including the exterior of the Minster and the celebrated Shambles - though we will also lead you deep into the medieval maze of ‘Snickelways’ to follow in the footsteps of the Romans and Vikings who created York. Above all, our tours rely on great storytelling rather than gimmicks - so if we can’t remember everyone’s names there must be too many people taking part!

I think our guide was Sarah, German speaker from Istanbul. Very amusing, and very knowledgeable, however we were less than happy to be told very confidently that Scotland (where we live) will very soon be independent! Sarah needs to learn to read her audience! She said she'd be applying for a Scottish passport as soon as Scotland was independent. Any one of us would very gladly let her have ours should that ever come to pass.

A great tour with Alfred who explains everything very well and is a wealth of knowledge. It is fast paced yet not rushed. You cover a bit of ground and a good introduction to York.
