Despre activitate
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.

Meeting Point: JORVIK Precinct & The River Waterfront:
Gather outside the JORVIK Viking Centre where the ancient settlement was uncovered. Explore the riverfront where Norse fleets arrived, pass the shadow of the Norman Castle Keep, and discover how Norse invaders seized the thriving Anglo-Saxon city of Eoforwic in 866 AD, transforming it into Jórvík—the bustling capital that would shape the North until the climax of 1066.

Admission to the Jorvik Viking Centre is not included; we do not enter the premises during our tour though you may wish to consider a visit before or after your Viking Walk as the tour was written to compliment the attraction.**
