York Historical Walking Tour Experience

When you've booked for a tour you'll be met at the Guy Fawkes Inn, opposite Michael Le Belfrey's church. From there you'll learn about the famous conspirators and the gun powder plot, in the very birthplace of Guy Fawkes himself!
We'll then proceed to York Minster yard, where you'll learn all about the Minsters rich history. We'll also visit several other famous spots in York, including The Shambles, Museum Gardens, and many more!

The important thing to remember when booking, is that no 2 tours are the same! Depending on how much time you have and what your interests are I'll make each tour as personalised as I'm able.

The tour stops listed are just a few of many other places I can take you in York, so if you decide to come back for another tour, you can guarantee it will be very different from the previous excursion!

After your tour is finished treat yourself to 10% off drinks at The Last Drop Inn. Just present your tour ticket at the bar!
