Founded by the Romans nearly 2000 years ago, York bears the markings of every major era in British history as well as providing the inspiration for some of today’s most popular cultural treasures such as Harry Potter, and Game of Thrones! Nowadays, it is also a fantastic destination for its markets, traditional shops and pubs: the famous ‘Shambles’ shopping area has some of the oldest surviving shops in the UK! 

With Smile Adventures your guide will explain all about the history and culture of the city, and will highlight the main attractions of the city during a walking tour.  In the afternoon you will have plenty of chance to explore for yourself, or if you prefer you can join the guides to visit The National Rail Museum.
