Shared Walking Tour in York
Overview
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 preceed 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!
However, if you find you're pressed for time, that's not a problem! I can focus on the places you're interested in, and wrap everything up to fit into your schedule.

David’s tour of York was an excellent introduction to York for us. David is extremely knowledgeable, personable and enthusiastic and his tour really brings the details of the town and its history to life. He helped us see so many of the pieces you’d normally miss. We learned a great deal about York Minster, the Museum Gardens, the city walls, and The Shambles, among many other topics. Our tour truly took us to places and angles we would not have seen otherwise. David welcomed our questions and gave us his full attention .Camelia C
