Why choose this York tour ?
York is amazing. King George VI once said, ‘The history of York is the history of England’. Well he wasn’t wrong. The city has been home to Romans, Saxons, Vikings and Normans. It has been the ‘capital’ of the north and has been a centre for trade, commerce and power through the centuries. Today York is a vibrant, modern city with one of the best windows on the past that you will ever find.
Join me on a tour of my fascinating home city to learn more about its history and what has made it the city it is today. Walk in the footsteps of Roman soldiers and marauding Vikings, pass through medieval streets, stand in the shadow of one of the world’s great cathedrals and take in the view from the city walls.
