Overview

Discover one of England's most beautiful historic cities on a private walking tour designed exclusively for your group.

With your own knowledgeable local guide, explore Durham's winding medieval streets, UNESCO World Heritage landmarks, hidden lanes and spectacular riverside viewpoints while uncovering nearly 1,000 years of fascinating history.

Rather than following a scripted route, your guide brings Durham to life through stories of prince bishops, pilgrims, students, miners, royalty and everyday local life. Along the way you'll discover how this compact city helped shape the history of England.

As this is a private experience, the pace is entirely yours. Pause for photographs, ask as many questions as you like, or spend more time exploring the places that interest you most.

Whether you're visiting Durham for the first time or returning to discover more, this tour offers an engaging introduction to one of Britain's finest historic cities.
