Overview
Experience York at its most atmospheric around sundown, after the tourist hordes have departed but before the night begins. This evening stroll hits the highlights, including York Minster, the City Walls and Shambles, but also takes you deep into the “Snickelways”, a medieval warren of secret passages, shortcuts and hidden alleys. Guides carry iPads with multimedia to bring the tour to life, while you’ll take home a map of York.
- Experience York’s medieval center by twilight on an evening walking tour
- Follow in the footsteps of Henry VIII and see 2,000 years of history
- Guide provides lively commentary, with multimedia input from an iPad
- Great start to a stay in York—includes a complimentary map to explore more

So much history.......

Our guide, Alfred made this an interesting walk, despite the weather. Off the usual tourist route to see some of the other sites of the city and learn more of the history of York, there is so much to see & hear about. Would recommend this tour and Alfred as a guide.
Enjoyable afternoon packed with information

I really enjoyed this walking tour with Sarah. She was very informative and told us lots of nuggets of information. I really appreciated the nice slow walk as my feet were killing me from all the walking I had done all day! I went away to York on my own and she made me feel totally part of the group. Would highly recommend.
Relaxed and friendly

Relaxed and not rushed, and she conveyed the spirit of the people of York to us. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Saw buildings and heard stories from the Roman, AngloSaxon, Viking and Georgian eras.
Enjoyable informative tour

Alfred was very friendly and informative. He catered for all the varying ages in our group. The children in our group had many questions to ask and he happily answered them at their level of understanding.
We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend him.

Alfred was knowledgable, engaging and fun! A great introduction to York on our first evening here. The children (7 & 12) learned so much in such a short time - well worth it.

This was an hours tour in the centre of York. The guide was extremely knowledgable and friendly. It did not involve a lot of walking but gave lots of information of the area. I would strongly recommend this Tour.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
