Service Description

York is a historic city in northern England, renowned for its rich heritage, stunning architecture, and vibrant culture. Situated at the confluence of the River Ouse and River Foss, the city boasts a history spanning nearly 2,000 years, making it one of the UK’s most significant destinations. Founded by the Romans in 71 AD as Eboracum, York later became a vital Viking settlement and a center of medieval power. Its well-preserved landmarks, such as the iconic York Minster and the medieval city walls, reflect its enduring historical importance. Since the 1600s, migrants from Yorkshire have played a key role in shaping North America, with many settling in the earliest colonies. These families often moved from specific areas of Yorkshire to specific regions of North America, seeking fortune, religious freedom, or political refuge. Their unique skills and experiences, shaped by Yorkshire’s diverse geography and geology, significantly influenced the development of the continent. From agriculture to industry, Yorkshire’s legacy is deeply woven into the fabric of North American history. On our virtual tour, we will explore York’s fascinating past and its connections to the wider world. Starting at the River Ouse, we’ll trace the Roman fortress walls and visit the medieval St Mary’s Abbey. We’ll walk along the historic city walls to Bootham Bar, a 13th-century gatehouse, before marveling at the grandeur of York Minster. The tour will then take us through the maze of medieval cobbled streets, including the famous Shambles, and conclude at Clifford’s Tower, a remnant of Norman rule. Along the way, we’ll uncover the stories of Viking York and the city’s enduring influence on global history. $79 for each additional screen (does not apply to corporate customers.) * This tour is not designed for our corporate customers.
