The Original Viking Walk : Visita guiada por York
Descripción
Camina por las calles del verdadero Jorvik. En 866 d.C., el Gran Ejército Pagano capturó York, transformando un asentamiento anglosajón en una próspera capital vikinga internacional. En este recorrido a pie profundamente investigado, navegamos por los callejones históricos para descubrir el increíble legado de 200 años de dominio nórdico. Olvídate de los cascos de cuernos y los tropos de Hollywood. Su guía experto dará vida a la auténtica era vikinga, compartiendo las historias de reyes feroces, maestros artesanos, comerciantes globales y familias cotidianas que construyeron un imperio comercial en el norte de Inglaterra. Si quieres una exploración genuina, apasionante y comprobada del patrimonio vikingo de York, este es tu viaje.

Itinerario
En nuestra última parada nos acercamos al mundialmente famoso York Minster, donde escucharemos sobre los orígenes anglosajones de la catedral, y también un sorprendente enlace con los vikingos. Bueno, es el paseo vikingo original después de todo.
Una ruta opcional pero popular que traza los pasos de los guardias antiguos en las murallas medievales de la ciudad.* Las murallas de la ciudad están construidas sobre la antigua fortaleza romana, que los vikingos habrían reutilizado. Proporciona impresionantes vistas del lado norte del Minster. * Las murallas de la ciudad están ocasionalmente cerradas debido al tiempo, mal tiempo o mantenimiento. Original York Walks y sus diversos tours no tienen ninguna responsabilidad por el acceso a las murallas de la ciudad, y siempre están tan decepcionados como usted cuando son inaccesibles.
¡Escucha sobre las aventuras de Egill Skallagrimsson, su enemigo Eric Bloodaxe y la esposa de Eric, la bruja Gunnhild! También tenemos nuestro primer vistazo de York Minster.
Bienvenido a la encantadora calle medieval conocida como Shambles. El más antiguo y mejor conservado de todos los Shambles originales de Inglaterra.
Escucha sobre una de las joyas ocultas favoritas de Neil, que en última instancia fue una inteligente estratagema de marketing anglo-escandinavo, y, siempre que la iglesia esté abierta (depende de la hora y el día), ve una cubierta de tumba vikinga de 1000 años de antigüedad.
Escuche sobre cómo los vikingos transformaron la pequeña ciudad anglosajona en un próspero centro de comercio internacional, convirtiéndose así en la segunda ciudad más grande de Inglaterra.
Comenzamos nuestra historia de los vikingos aquí, y aprendemos exactamente lo que comenzó y terminó la regla de 200 años de los vikingos. Escucha sobre Ragnar Lothbrok, Ivar el Deshuesado y la conquista normanda de Guillermo el Conquistador.

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! :)
