About
York-based Travel and Tourism
Welcome to J & M York City Walking Tours! I'm passionate about exploring York's rich history and uncovering the fascinating stories that lie beneath its cobbled streets. With over 6,000 years of history, York has a tale to tell, full of captivating architecture, intriguing defences, and the flora and fauna that have flourished here. Our walking tours are designed to engage and entertain, offering a unique perspective on this magnificent city. Whether you're a local or a first-time visitor, I aim to make your experience both educational and enjoyable, helping you discover the hidden treasures that York has to offer.
What sets our York walking tours apart
What sets J & M York City Walking Tours apart isn’t just historical knowledge — it’s how the history is told. I don’t believe York’s past should feel like a classroom timeline of dates and dead kings. History should be thrilling: vivid, human, and packed with moments that make you go, “Wait… that happened here?”
From the power struggles that shaped the city, you’ll meet the colourful characters and monumental events that made York what it is today. And for those who like their history with a little shadow? I also explore York’s darker stories — the myths, legends, and unsettling truths that still cling to its streets in Forbidden Chronicles.
These aren’t standard scripts. They’re story-led York history tours full of lively anecdotes, the kind of walk where questions are welcome, curiosity is encouraged, and you leave feeling like you’ve experienced York.
Forbidden Chronicles
evening tours that search the soul
A true horror story...
York drips with dark history— Follow the candlelight, face the ghosts that refuse to rest. Uncover ghostly legends, grisly murders, tales that chill the spine. Dare to see the city after dark?
