Tours

You can discover York by open top bus, river cruises and themed guided walks. Take advantage of a wide range of self guided tours with trails printed on shopping, churches, food & drink, a walls walk and a Georgian riverside trail.

A wide choice of accompanied tours are available both in York and to the surrounding area. From daily themed guided walks to evening ghost walks - you'll be spoilt for choice.

Almost anything is possible for visitors to York. You can fly over the city, go on organised walks, play golf, go bowling, go-karting, cycling, clay pigeon shooting and rest with a picnic in the Museum Gardens!

York in itself has more than enough to entertain its visitors but an increasing number are staying longer to use York as a touring base. York sits between two of Britain's most stunning national parks, the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales.

Also within easy reach of the coastal towns of Scarborough, Whitby and Filey, York is the ideal touring base to discover Yorkshire. The stunning historic houses and gardens of Castle Howard, Beningbrough Hall, Newby Hall and Duncombe Park are right on York's doorstep.

Don't forget to brush up on your history at Eden Camp, a former POW camp at Malton and Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington.
