Hello York! Free Walking Tour Of York

About

Join me on a free guided walking tour around York, England's most historic city. It’s the perfect way to get familiar with the main landmarks and discover nearly 2000 years of history. Starting at York Minster we will travel along the city’s beautiful old winding streets including Stonegate and The Shambles. We then explore the history of the Vikings at Jorvik and the Normans at Clifford’s Tower. The tour finishes at the Museum Gardens which has everything from Roman remains to the ruins of a medieval abbey. Spaces are limited so please book in advance at the website. The free walking tour lasts around 90 minutes and is approximately 2 miles (3 kilometres) long. Tours run from June to September on Fridays and Saturdays at 10:30 and 13:30. Spaces are limited so please book in advance. 10% of all tips received on the tour go to a local York based charity called Restore who provide accommodation to people who would otherwise be homeless.
