With a history dating back to the ancient Romans, the walled city of York is home to a massive 13th-century Gothic cathedral. The city’s walls form an interesting walkway for both visitors and locals alike. Though the city is compact, each street and historic building is steeped in centuries and even millennia of history. Uncover the magic of York with your private local guide. Marvel in the spectacular views of York Minster, one of northern Europe’s largest cathedrals and an architectural masterpiece that emits a radiating glow over the city.



Let history continue to unfold before you, as you pass the place where Guy Fawkes was born, now a pub with his namesake. Weaving through the city, you'll discover one of the world’s best-preserved medieval streets as mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. Take in the skinny 14th-century alleyways and overhanging timber buildings as you walk down The Shambles street, and stop to admire Clifford's Tower, the largest remains of York's Medieval Castle.



St Helen's Square is dominated by the grandeur of the Mansion House, the Lord Mayor’s official residence. Similarly resplendent, Guildhall is located beyond the Mansion House and is an imposing Grade I listed building situated on the River Ouse. The tour finishes at The Star Inn, an old engine house that sits on the edge of the Museum Gardens by the River Ouse. Now a lovely restaurant, and your guide's favourite place to eat, it's a real taste of Yorkshire.
