Once you’ve had breakfast, you’ll board the coach and experience an orientation tour of the enchanting city of York. Your tour manager will point out the imposing York Minster, a Gothic cathedral, the surrounding medieval City Walls and the picturesque street, Shambles, with its timber-framed buildings, some 600 years old. You’ll then have the afternoon for self-exploration and to immerse yourself in the city’s Roman roots and Viking past. Traverse the narrow lanes at your own pace, visit some of the thirty world-class museums and art galleries, follow the trail along the walls to take in the impressive views or visit the famous Betty’s Café Tea Rooms.
