The Splendour of York

A visit to York, nestled in the heart of England’s historic county of Yorkshire, promises a journey back in time and a wealth of experiences for travellers of all interests.

This ancient city, with its well-preserved medieval walls and stunning architecture, is a living testament to centuries of history. It is a vibrant festival city with Roman roots and a Viking past. As you explore York’s cobbled streets, you’ll discover a captivating blend of old-world charm and vibrant modern life. From the grandeur of York Minster, one of Europe’s most magnificent cathedrals, to the quaint, narrow lanes of The Shambles, lined with timber-framed buildings, there’s something for everyone. Dive into history at the Jorvik Viking Centre, take a leisurely stroll along the city walls, or savour tea in a traditional tearoom. We also include a sightseeing cruise on the River Ouse with onboard commentary to learn more about this glorious city.

Whether you’re drawn to its rich heritage, cultural attractions, or culinary delights, York offers a treasure trove of sights and activities to create lasting memories during your visit.

Our hotel on the outskirts of York offers comfortable accommodation and a convenient location, just a 10 minute drive or 30 minutes walk for those who like to stroll. This tour gives you plenty of free time to discover York for yourself and its magnificent history and culture!

An ideal choice for:
