Overview
While strolling along cobbled streets and riverside footpaths, you will view some of the world's best architecture and encounter gripping tales of the kings, Prince Bishops and local people who have made Durham one of England's most fascinating, and historically significant, cities. Our History Tour will take you from the bustling heart of the Market Place to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the castle. Walkabout Durham is a small family run business of two guides (Peter and Annmarie). We both grew up in Durham, trained as teachers and have been running tours in Durham since 2019. This was our first tour and is still the most popular of our range of tours.
