À notre dernier arrêt, nous nous approchons du célèbre York Minster, où nous entendrons parler des origines anglo-saxonnes de la cathédrale, et aussi un lien surprenant avec les Vikings. Eh bien, c'est l'Original Viking Walk après tout.
Un parcours facultatif mais populaire qui retrace les traces d'anciens gardes sur les remparts médiévaux de la ville.* Les murs de la ville sont construits au-dessus de l'ancienne forteresse romaine, que les Vikings auraient réutilisée. Offre une vue imprenable sur le côté nord du Minster. *Les murs de la ville sont parfois fermés pour cause de temps, d'intempéries ou d'entretien. Original York Walks et ses différentes visites ne portent aucune responsabilité quant à l'accès aux murs de la ville, et sont toujours aussi déçus que vous lorsqu'ils sont inaccessibles.
Découvrez les aventures d'Egill Skallagrimsson, son ennemi Eric Bloodaxe, et de la femme d'Eric, la sorcière, Gunnhild ! Nous avons aussi notre premier aperçu de York Minster.
Bienvenue dans la charmante rue médiévale connue sous le nom de Cafouillage. Le plus ancien et le mieux conservé de tous les Cafouillages originaux en Angleterre.
Écoutez parler de l'un des joyaux cachés préférés de Neil qui a finalement été un habile stratagème de marketing anglo-scandinave, et, à condition que l'église soit ouverte (ça dépend de l'heure et du jour), voyez une couverture funéraire viking vieille de 1000 ans.
Découvrez comment les Vikings ont transformé la petite ville anglo-saxonne en une plaque tournante florissante du commerce international, devenant ainsi la deuxième plus grande ville d'Angleterre.
Nous commençons notre histoire des Vikings ici, et apprenons exactement ce qui a commencé et terminé la domination des Vikings de 200 ans. Découvrez Ragnar Lothbrok, Ivar le Désossé et la conquête normande de Guillaume le Conquérant.

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!!)

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! :)
