Overview

Walk the streets of the real Jorvik.
In 866 AD, the Great Heathen Army captured York, transforming an Anglo-Saxon settlement into a thriving, international Viking capital. On this deeply researched walking tour, we navigate the historic alleys to uncover the incredible 200-year legacy of Norse rule.

Forget the horned helmets and Hollywood tropes. Your expert guide will bring the authentic Viking Age to life, sharing the stories of fierce kings, master craftsmen, global traders, and everyday families who built a commercial empire in the north of England.

If you want a genuine, gripping, and fact-checked exploration of York's Viking heritage, this is your journey.

    We start our tale of Vikings here, and learn exactly what started and ended the 200-year rule of the Vikings. Hear about Ragnar Lothbrok, Ivar the Boneless, and William the Conqueror's Norman Conquest.
  • Hear about how the Vikings transformed the small Anglo-Saxon town into a thriving hub of international trade. (pass by)
  • Hear about one of Neil's favourite hidden gems that was ultimately a clever Anglo-Scandinavian marketing ploy, and, provided the church is open (depends on the time and day), see a 1000 year old Viking grave cover.
