Itinerário
Na nossa última parada nos aproximamos do mundialmente famoso York Minster, onde ouviremos sobre as primeiras origens anglo-saxônicas da catedral, e também uma conexão surpreendente com os vikings. Bem, é a caminhada Viking original, afinal de contas.
Uma rota opcional, mas popular, que rastreia as pegadas de antigos guardas nas muralhas da cidade medieval.* As muralhas da cidade são construídas sobre a antiga fortaleza romana, que os vikings teriam reutilizado. Oferece vistas deslumbrantes do lado norte do Minster. *Os muros da cidade estão fechados ocasionalmente devido ao tempo, mau tempo ou manutenção. O original York Walks e seus vários passeios não têm nenhuma responsabilidade pelo acesso às muralhas da cidade, e estão sempre tão decepcionados quanto você quando eles são inacessíveis.
Ouça sobre as aventuras de Egill Skallagrimsson, seu inimigo Eric Bloodaxe, e a esposa de Eric, a bruxa, Gunnhild! Também temos o nosso primeiro olhar sobre York Minster.
Bem-vindo à encantadora rua medieval conhecida como Shambles. O mais antigo e melhor preservado de todos os Shambles originais na Inglaterra.
Ouça sobre uma das gemas escondidas favoritas de Neil que foi, em última análise, um truque de marketing anglo-escandinavo inteligente, e, desde que a igreja esteja aberta (depende da hora e do dia), veja uma capa de sepultura vikinga de 1000 anos.
Saiba como os vikings transformaram a pequena cidade anglo-saxônica em um centro próspero de comércio internacional, tornando-se assim a segunda maior cidade da Inglaterra.
Começamos nossa história dos vikings aqui, e aprendemos exatamente o que começou e terminou o governo dos 200 anos dos vikings. Ouça sobre Ragnar Lothbrok, Ivar o Sem Ossos e a conquista normanda de William o 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!!)

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! :)
