Whenever I arrive in a new city, the most useful thing is always the same: talking to someone who lives there. That’s exactly what this tour offers: a private walk through the most historic parts of Durham’s city centre and World Heritage Site, guided by stories from the past and insights from someone who knows the city and the region inside out.

As well as the history of this beautiful city, I’ll show you my favourite spots to eat, drink, and explore, and share tips on how to make the most of your time here, whether you’re staying for a weekend or just passing through.

I update the tour daily with current events and goings-on, so you’ll always know what’s happening in the city right now. I can also help you decide where to go beyond Durham to the wider North East: where to go, what to see, and how to get there, whether you’re driving or using public transport.

I look forward to taking you around my favourite city!
