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. This is the longest tour we run which allows us to go a bit further afield than the average city tour - including the wonderful Wharton Park which gives the best views of the city and is a real hidden gem.

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 look forward to taking you around my favourite city!
