Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Micklegate Bar, 27 Micklegate, York YO1 6JH England

We will meet in front of Micklegate Bar, inside the city walls. There we will talk about the first of our characters: the most infamous king in English history... Was he a monster, or a hero? A murderer, or a pious man who did his duty?

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Ouse Bridge, Bridge Street, York YO1 9QU England

We will stand on Ouse Bridge, the place where the second one of our characters performed an incredible miracle! It is also where another character, which we will talk about later on in the tour, was executed for her faith...

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Clifford's Tower, Tower Street, York YO1 9SA England

Clifford's Tower is all that is left of York's castle. For decades it was also part of York's prison. We will see the old prison building behind the tower, today part of York Castle Museum and once home of the most famous highwayman in England... Did he really ride from London to York in just one day!?

Duration: 10 minutes

Pass By: York Castle Museum, Eye of York Tower St, York YO1 9RY England

Once York's prison, today a wonderful museum of Yorkshire's social history from the 1500s to today.

Pass By: Jorvik Viking Centre, 19 Coppergate Coppergate Shopping Centre, York YO1 9WT England

A museum where you can go for a ride through an old Viking village and learn about York (Jorvik)'s past.

Stop At: Parliament Street, York YO1 8SG England

We stop at the end of one of York's busiest shopping streets to look at the old house of someone whose name is synonymous with chocolate. But he didn't make people's lives sweeter only with his products; he also did so with his actions and beliefs.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: 11 Shambles, York YO1 7LZ England

Arguably the most well-known street in York, we will stop there to talk about York's most famous martyr: the butcher's wife who lived in this street and was executed on Ouse Bridge for her Catholic faith.
*PLEASE NOTE* as the Shambles is a very narrow street and usually very busy, we will take a detour instead of going up it. You can explore it at your leisure in your own time.

Duration: 10 minutes

Pass By: York's Chocolate Story, King's Square, York YO1 7LD England

A fun museum where you can learn everything about York's chocolatey history, and even make a chocolate lolly yourself!

Stop At: St. Michael le Belfrey Church, High Petergate, York YO1 7EN England

The church where the most famous terrorist of all time was baptised. He could have changed the course of England's (and Europe's) history had he not been discovered. Remember, remember...

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Statue of Constantine the Great, York Minster, York England

Constantine the Great was proclaimed emperor in York, where we can see his statue today. He changed the course of history and religion forever, but was he really a Christian himself..?

Duration: 10 minutes

Pass By: York Minster, Minster Yard Deangate, York YO1 7HH England

The greatest landmark of the city of York is its magnificent Gothic cathedral, whose origins date back to the 7th century.

Stop At: Exhibition Square, York England

We finish our tour in Exhibition Square, a very appropriate name for the place where the York Art Gallery stands. Here we will learn about the life and work of our last character, a painter whose life was shrouded in admiration and controversy in equal parts... And who - allegedly - saved the York walls from destruction.

Duration: 10 minutes

Pass By: York Art Gallery, Exhibition Square, York YO1 7EW England

Home of the CoCA (Centre of Ceramic Art) which keeps the biggest and most complete collection of British contemporary ceramics, it also has an extensive collection of paintings - most of which are not on display - and hosts temporary exhibitions periodically.
