Durham - The Cathedral and Old City

Middlesbrough, England
  • 1 day (approx.)
  • Pickup offered
  • Mobile ticket
  • Offered in: English

Overview

History-steeped Durham sits just north of York, and offers up cobbled streets crowned by UNESCO-protected Durham Cathedral and Castle. Getting there by yourself means a hire car or train— both leaving you without a guide to help you fully appreciate the old city’s sights. This private tour closes all the gaps: providing easy transport, a time-efficient itinerary that covers the must-sees, and a guide for important context and insight.
  • Discover the old city of Durham on a private day trip from York
  • Get the most from a visit without parking or train hassles, and with a guide
  • Explore the medieval castle, old town, and soaring 12th-century cathedral
  • Hear history you’d otherwise miss, and relax with hotel pickup and drop-off
