About Us
"I hadn't expected to learn so much about my own city but it was packed with fascinating history that I had no idea about."
If you're looking for York walks with a difference, join York's Hidden History as we uncover our city's ancient, natural, and scientific secrets. Our expert guides, Dr Simon Rogerson and Dr Liam Herringshaw, bring York's Hidden History to life with knowledge and humour.
Throughout the year, we offer private tours and walks for individuals, couples, families, and groups small and large. Please drop us an email (yorkshh@gmail.com) and we'll be happy to discuss what you're looking for.
Elements of York
The 'Elements of York' is our main programme of walks - the York Air Walk, the York Fire Walk, the York Earth Walk, and the York Water Walk - which uncover the ancient, natural, and scientific secrets of the city. They last 90 to 120 minutes, and we normally offer them on Fridays and Sundays in the spring and summer. Tickets must be booked in advance.
Guilded Tours of York's Hidden History
Offered on a 'pay what you feel' basis, our Guilded Tours take place at 11am on the first Wednesday of each month. Starting and finishing outside York Guildhall, we'll uncover the medieval city hidden within the streets and buildings of modern York. Guilded Tours last around an hour, and you can book advance tickets on our Eventbrite page, or just turn up on the day.
Family events and Private tours
Our Guilded Tours and 'Elements of York' walks are aimed at over-11s, but we also offer family events, such as York fossil hunts and museum activities. We are also very happy to lead private tours of York for individuals, couples, families and groups. Please drop us a line at yorkshh@gmail.com and we'll be happy to chat.
Opening Times
We offer private tours for couples, families, and groups throughout the year. Please get in touch via social media (@yorkshiddenhist), email (yorkshh@gmail.com) or phone and we'll be happy to discuss what you're looking for.
