First-Timer's Guide to Crime Tours in York

If you’re looking for a truly unique way to experience York, we offer Crime Tours that delve into the city's darker history. These tours aren’t your typical sightseeing experiences; they explore infamous crimes and stories of punishment from York’s past, and currently there are four different tour options available. You can expect these tours to last anywhere between 30 minutes and 150 minutes, with prices ranging from £12 to a maximum of £105. The overall average rating across all the Crime Tours is an impressive 4.9 out of 5 – a testament to their engaging content!

Before you book, it’s helpful to consider your priorities. The duration of the tour will significantly impact the depth of detail you receive, and naturally, longer tours tend towards the higher price range. You'll find options offering both shared group experiences (generally more budget-friendly) and private tours – a private experience offers a more intimate exploration but comes with a premium cost. We recommend comparing the duration and price to see which best suits your interest level and desired engagement.
