Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket?
No — a mobile ticket on your phone is all you need. Simply show it to your guide at the meeting point.
Is this tour suitable for young children?
Yes. Children under 4 are free of charge, and the interactive format — sorting, quizzes, and reenactments — tends to go down well with younger visitors. All under-18s must be accompanied by an adult.
Where exactly do we meet?
The tour starts at The Cholera Burial Ground on Station Road (YO24 1AA), directly opposite The Principal York Hotel. It's a short walk from York Railway Station.
Do I need to have read the books or seen the films?
Not at all — the guide sets the scene as you go. That said, fans of the series will get extra enjoyment from spotting the references.
How much walking is involved?
This is a walking tour through York's city centre, including cobbled streets and a section of the city walls. Wear comfortable, flat-soled shoes.
Can I cancel if my plans change?
Please check the cancellation policy at the time of booking — details are shown on the ticket selection page before you confirm.
