York is layered with 2,000 years of history — and its pubs hold some of the best of it
Roman foundations, Viking street names, medieval walls and Georgian elegance — York has it all. But some of its most vivid and extraordinary stories aren’t found in museums. They’re found in its pubs, told over a drink, exactly as they always have been.
On this completely private walking tour we visit a hand-picked selection of York’s most historic and characterful taverns. A complimentary drink is included in every pub — so relax, let your hair down, and let the stories wash over you.

The Experience
Relaxed, private, and endlessly entertaining
This isn’t a group tour where you’re herded between stops. It’s a private experience tailored entirely to your group — your pace, your questions, your conversation. The guide does the rest.
Along the way you’ll also stop at the Blue Boar, where a totally unique relic from one of England’s most infamous criminals awaits. Every pub has a story. Every story has a drink to go with it.
Perfect for groups of friends, couples, family gatherings, or anyone who wants to discover York the way it was always meant to be discovered.
What’s Included
A complimentary drink in every pub — beer, ale, soft drink or tea
Every stop includes a complimentary drink of your choice — ale, beer, soft drink, tea or coffee — so you never have to worry about ordering or the bill. Just enjoy the stories and the atmosphere.
The tour runs at a civilised 11am start so there’s plenty of time to explore the rest of York afterwards. We can drop you wherever suits you best — your hotel, the station, or just somewhere central to continue your day.
