Plus, we’ll hear the stories of legendary kings, ferocious rivalries, wealthy and eccentric Prince Bishops, and humble locals that have helped craft Durham from Anglo-Saxon times into the city it is today.

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.

All of the features of the history tour plus more! Here we explore the wider city and uncover some hidden gems. Learn about the ‘King in the North’ - the legendary St. Oswald - who returned from exile to reclaim his father's Northumbrian lands and establish a legacy that paved the way for Cuthbert and the Durham story. We also take a look at the dark side of Durham as we explore the prisons, executions and hauntings that add to the mystery and intrigue of the city. Finally, a tour of Durham would not be complete without delving into its rich coal mining heritage and the local people who are at the heart of the Durham story.
