Why follow the crowds? At Yorktour, we believe a fantastic tour should also be an enjoyable conversation. That’s why we ensure there are no more than eight participants, allowing everyone to ask questions without worrying about being left behind! This family-friendly walking tour covers all the major sights, including the exterior of the Minster and the famous Shambles. Additionally, we will guide you through the medieval labyrinth of ‘Snickelways’ to trace the paths of the Romans and Vikings who shaped York. Most importantly, our tours focus on excellent storytelling rather than gimmicks—so if we can’t remember everyone’s names, it means there are too many participants!
