Private Half Day Tour

You will walk the cobbled streets, bridges and beautiful riverside paths whilst learning about 1,000 years of history. From saints and Prince Bishops to the darker side of the city’s history, there are stories in abundance.

During the tour you will be guided around the magnificent Durham Cathedral- commissioned during the Norman period, it is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site. It provides one of the best examples of architecture from the 11th century in England. 
Over the course of the tour, you will stop for coffee and cake at one of the city's atmospheric cafés. We are delighted to launch this new tour- bringing together the highlights of Durham city in half a day.
