What to Bring on a Crime Tours Tour in York

We understand you’re interested in exploring the darker side of York with one of the Crime Tours offered – fantastic! These tours range from 30 to 150 minutes and have an average rating of 4.9/5, so we anticipate a truly immersive experience. Given the nature of these walks, which typically involve a significant amount of walking and exploring historical areas, it’s important to prepare accordingly.

First and foremost, comfortable footwear is absolutely essential. Most tours will be spent on foot, often over cobbled streets and uneven surfaces. Sturdy trainers or walking shoes are highly recommended. Secondly, layering your clothing is crucial – the weather in York can change quickly, particularly during autumn and winter months when many of these tours run.

Because most tours last between 30 to 150 minutes, you won’t need a huge amount of equipment. However, bringing a small bottle of water will help keep you hydrated, especially if the weather is warm. A light jacket or waterproof layer is also advisable, particularly during the autumn and winter seasons.

Finally, don't forget to bring your curiosity and perhaps a notepad to jot down any interesting details you discover! Given the tour durations, we suggest bringing something to occupy yourself during quieter moments – a book or magazine would be ideal.
