There are dozens of tours in York and over the years the eccentric list has included both a ‘Historic Toilet' tour and a ‘Bloody Execution' tour. There are free daily guided walking tours of a more conventional nature from the Association of Voluntary Guides (tel: (01904) 640 780).

York City Sightseeing is a hop-on, hop-off bus service that travels around the city centre (tel: (01904) 655 585; website: www.yorktourbuses.co.uk). There is also a sightseeing tour from a boat (tel: (01904) 628 324; website: www.yorkboat.co.uk).

The International Ghost Research Foundation announced that York was ‘officially' the most haunted city in Europe in 2002 and there are plenty of ghost tours around the city to impart insights into York's resident ghosts. Some of these tours rely on trickery and theatrics, whilst others opt for a more straightforward historical approach. The best of them all is The Original Ghost Walk of York (tel: (01759) 373 090; website: www.theoriginalghostwalkofyork.co.uk), which departs from outside the King's Arms pub, 3 King's Straith, on a nightly basis.
