York is a historic city known for its city walls and medieval landmarks. This guided bike tour covers both inside and outside the city walls, lasting about two to two and a half hours. Starting from a central point in York, the route follows mainly quiet roads and designated cycle paths for safety. The guide stops several times to share stories about the city's past, including tales of Romans, Vikings, saints, sinners, and the local chocolate makers. The stories are factual but told with a lighthearted tone. The tour includes stops at York Minster, Clifford's Tower, Treasurer's House, several points along York City Walls including Micklegate Bar, Rowntree Park, and St William's College. Each stop provides historical background or interesting stories such as York’s most famous ghost and the significance of the Royal entrance. Helmets, bicycles, and a guide are provided. This tour gives a paced cycling experience with several breaks to listen and look around.
