A great, unique and memorable Tour of the city of YORK, the most spectacular Medieval city in YORKSHIRE AND the North of England.
Founded by the Romans in 71 AD, York was occupied by Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, and invaded by the Normans!
Its great Gothic Cathedral: the York Minster, the ruins of a Medieval Monastery, its Castle, its wall, and public gardens, Georgian and Victorian Architecture... something to discover and explore at every step during our walk.
One of the most photogenic and picturesque cities in the UK.
York still preserves a large group of buildings, churches and market for more than 600 years, taking us on a journey to the Middle Ages.

5.00We did a private tour with Mariano and it really was an unforgettable experience. His knowledge of history caught us as we walked across the city for over three hours they flew by! We would definitely recommend it and would not hesitate to take another tour with him if he returned to York.

5.00The tour with Mariano was a fantastic experience. We chose a private tour for two in York City, and it gave us a lot of information in a very enjoyable and extraordinarily Pro way. Mariano’s great knowledge of the history of England (and more countries) and of all the sites we saw during the visit made us very enjoyable. We'll go back to York and hire him again. We would definitely recommend it.
city breaks at the weekend or mid week it is just the tonic.
