This is a longer, private version of our 5-star rated group tour of Durham, built around you. You choose where we meet, so your guide can collect you from a convenient pickup point. Your group has the guide to itself, which means a relaxed pace and plenty of time for questions.

It is also fully customisable, but only if you want it to be. Tell us in advance if you would like a particular focus, such as medieval history, the university, architecture or local legends. Not sure what to see? Leave it to us, as we have an excellent tour planned.

Everything covered on our group tour is included, from the Market Place and historic bridges to the College, Old Elvet and views of the cathedral and castle. With an extra hour, the private tour also adds Wharton Park, North Road, some of Durham’s churches and the Jubilee Walk, so you see a side of Durham most visitors miss.

Your guide is a Durham local who loves sharing the city, so you get stories and tips you will not find in a guidebook.
