About this Event

You will be taken to parts of the ancient city that you may not find on your own. You'll hear the individual interpretation by your guide and get a real sense of understanding as well as some brilliant viewing locations of the greatest walled City in the United Kingdom.

Please note that the tour is delivered in the English language only.

"The History of York is the History of England" George VI.

The AVG is committed to ensuring that our guests and guides enjoy the City in as safe a manner as possible. On some days there is just one guide who can take up to a maximum of 25 people. On busier days there are two guides on duty for each of our twice-daily tours, and we typically split the full group into two smaller tours.
