Overview

York is at its most magical around sundown.

The tourist crowds have departed, the streets are empty. Enjoy a one-hour evening stroll which includes all the major sights of York - including the exterior of the Minster and world-famous Shambles - but will also take you deep into the medieval labyrinth of secret passages and short-cuts known as 'Snickelways'.

There are plenty of ghost tour options in York - but why listen to stories when the truth is far more surprising? The early evening start time is perfect for working up an appetite. Informal, entertaining and 100% phantom-free.

We had a GREAT tour with Sarah. She is so personable, she puts you at ease. Clearly she is very knowledgeable about York. We enjoyed the easy tour at a time of day when the hustle and bustle was over. She made it informative and fun!

This tour was amazing! Sarah was so informative, engaging, and accommodating. There were only 3 of us and she really went out of her way to answer all of our questions and make sure we saw and learned all of York that we wanted to. I can’t recommend this tour company or Sarah enough.
