Anmeldelse af The Original Viking Walk: Guided Tour of York
Beskrivelse
Gå i gaderne i den rigtige Jorvik. I 866 e.Kr. erobrede den store hedenske hær York og forvandlede en angelsaksisk bosættelse til en blomstrende, international vikingekapital. På denne dybt forskede vandretur navigerer vi gennem de historiske gader for at opdage den utrolige 200-årige arv af nordisk styre. Glem de hornede hjelme og Hollywood tropes. Din ekspertguide vil bringe den autentiske vikingetid til live og dele historierne om hårde konger, mesterværker, globale handlende og hverdagsfamilier, der byggede et kommercielt imperium i det nordlige England. Hvis du ønsker en ægte, gribende og faktakontrolleret udforskning af Yorks vikingernes arv, er dette din rejse.

Rejseplan
På vores sidste stop kommer vi op og tæt på den verdensberømte York Minster, hvor vi vil høre om de tidlige angelsaksiske oprindelser af katedralen, og også en overraskende forbindelse til vikingerne. Tja, det er den oprindelige Viking Walk trods alt.
En valgfri, men populær rute, der sporer fodsporene af gamle vagter på middelalderens bymure.* Byens mure er bygget på toppen af den gamle romerske fæstning, som vikingerne ville have genbrugt. Giver fantastisk udsigt over den nordlige side af Minster. * Byens mure lukkes lejlighedsvis på grund af vejr, dårligt vejr eller vedligeholdelse. Originale York Walks og dens forskellige ture bærer intet ansvar for adgang til byens mure, og er altid lige så skuffet som dig, når de er utilgængelige.
Hør om eventyr af Egill Skallagrimsson, hans fjende Eric Bloodaxe, og Eric's kone, heksen, Gunnhild! Vi får også vores første glimt af York Minster.
Velkommen til den fortryllende middelalderlige gade kendt som Shambles. Den ældste og bedst bevarede af alle de oprindelige Shambles i England.
Hør om en af Neils foretrukne skjulte perler, der i sidste ende var en klog Anglo-Scandinavian marketing trick, og, forudsat at kirken er åben (afhænger af tidspunktet og dagen), se en 1000 år gammel viking grav cover.
Hør om, hvordan vikingerne forvandlede den lille angelsaksiske by til et blomstrende hub for international handel og dermed blev den næststørste by i England.
Vi begynder vores fortælling om vikingerne her, og lærer præcis, hvad der begyndte og sluttede 200-års regeringstid for vikingerne. Hør om Ragnar Lothbrok, Ivar den benløse, og William erobrerens normanniske erobring.

What an interesting tour! Neil brought Viking and Roman history to life, and with such passion! His knowledge of this history and the way he connected various people and events really allowed me to understand it more deeply. He was patient and so eager to answer questions. I like the way he went out of his way to tailor the tour to my interests. Overall, probably the most enriching tour I’ve ever taken.
Neil’s Viking walking tour in York and really enjoyed it. It ended up being just the two of us, and Neil adapted the tour into a more relaxed, personalised experience, which made it feel special. He’s very knowledgeable, engaging, and easy to follow, with a great sense of humour. We learned not just about the Vikings, but also the wider history of York, with some fascinating hidden spots we would never have found ourselves. Overall, a brilliant and memorable tour — we’d definitely recommend it and would happily book again.
Such a splendid walk. Not only is Neil knowledgable but he makes the history accessible and enjoyable. Open and willing to take questions, even from someone as annoying and questioning as me! I cannot express enough how good this is, if you’re looking for a walk around York choose this one.
I went to York with not much plans and this was one of the best things i did there! I did this tour last year and I promised to make this review. (Sorry!!) This is the first time I write a review and I am doing becaouse I guarantee you this tour it was worth it. Neil was a great storyteller and he makes you feel really into history. It was an honestly interesting and good time. Great viking tour! :) I recommended 100%. Fue estupendo y muy divertido. Una actividad realmente bonita y divertida. Si te gusta la historia esto es algo que deberías probar!

Having an interest in viking history this tour really appealed to me. The guide, Sigwulf, showed us around various interesting sites in York and linked them to the city's viking past with entertaining stories injected with humour. I learned far more than I was expecting. If you're interested in history, especially the viking age, and you're looking for a guided walk around York, then you should look into the original viking walk.
I've been living in York for some years now and it really has layers and layers of stories. Neil really knows how to get into character and transport his audience to the times of Jorvik. He's a great storyteller and a great guy.
Neil was brilliant. His knowledge of the city is second to none and the experience of walking through the city with this striding Viking is highly recommended! Thanks, Neil, for making our trip to York so memorable. And for retaining the beard for your final tour of the year! Emma
Great tour, highly recommended! Our tour guide, Neil, was totally fabulous and welcomed our questions along the tour. Having watched 'The Vikings' TV series we were eager to learn more about the history. We couldn't have chosen a better tour. Neil was super knowledgeable, enthusiastic, passionate and funny too, which was so welcome on a cold November evening in York. Join the tour, you won't be disappointed!
I did the viking tour with Neil and I enjoyed it so much. Even though I am a huge fan of all things Viking, he told me about so many stories I didn’t know and he was quite funny too! Learning about York’s viking past with him was one of my favourite experiences in this lovely city. I can’t recommend him enough! :)
