The typical duration of these tours is 90 minutes, but it's worth noting that this can sometimes vary slightly. A tour might be a little longer if the guide wants to delve deeper into a particular aspect of York’s history or if there are unexpected delays due to group size or weather conditions. Conversely, a shorter session could occur if the group is particularly enthusiastic and eager to explore every corner.
Each tour offers an average rating of 4.9/5, reflecting our commitment to delivering high-quality experiences. We believe these tours provide fantastic value for money, with prices ranging from £65 to £97 – a good investment in understanding York’s layered story.
To make the most of your day, we recommend scheduling your archaeology tour mid-morning or early afternoon. This allows you ample time to explore other areas of York afterwards, perhaps visiting the Shambles or The Minster, before enjoying lunch.
