Private York Historical Pub Tour

This is your chance to explore the lanes and stories of one of England’s most atmospheric cities. Our Private York Historical Pub Tour is an unforgettable journey through centuries of rebellion, intrigue, ghosts and good cheer.

York is a city layered with history: Roman foundations, Viking streets, medieval walls and Georgian elegance. But some of its most vivid stories are told not in museums — they’re told in its pubs.

On this private walking tour, we visit a hand-picked mix of York’s most historic and characterful taverns.

We start at the birthplace of Guy Fawkes, the Guy Fawkes Inn, before descending to Roman remains beneath the Roman Bath.

Enjoy a drink at the birthplace of one of the world’s most famous terrorists, Guy Fawkes! Hear ghostly tales inside the famously haunted Golden Fleece. You can glimpse our Roman origins in the Roman Bath. Soak up something totally different at the Blue Boar with a totally unique relic from one of our most infamous criminals! Hopefully there won’t be any soaking at all as we end the tour by the river at the flood-prone yet beloved King’s Arms.

A complimentary drink is included in every pub so you can let your hair down. Our Private York Historical Pub Tour is relaxed, private and entertaining. Discover York’s story told as it should be: in historic pubs, one glass at a time.
