Welcome to History-Soaked York
For over 2,000 years, York has been a city of stories, shaped and reshaped by countless peoples and their passions.
Walk around the city and peel back the layers of history, where stories etched into the city walls still whisper of the Romans, street names reflect the Viking legacy, and the cobbled streets with timber-framed buildings recall the city’s flourishing under medieval kings.
Once you’ve explored York’s medieval streets, venture beyond the walls on a Rabbie’s small-group tour. Spend the day exploring the wild Yorkshire Moors that inspired the Brontë sisters, and the coastal town of Whitby, whose cliffs and abbey sparked Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Or soak up the pastoral charm and savour the local flavours as you journey through the Yorkshire Dales and visit the Wensleydale Creamery.

Planning Your Tour from York
We love the narrow, cobbled streets of history-soaked York. But just beyond these medieval walls lies a whole new world waiting to be explored. Venture into the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Parks, where you’ll experience some of the most idyllic landscapes in England.
Join our small-group tours and spend the day riding a steam train through the mist and myth of the Yorkshire Moors, then visit the haunting ruins of Whitby Abbey - a place that inspired the book Dracula. Or wander through storybook villages in the romantic Yorkshire Dales and sample the famous Wensleydale cheese.
Along the way, you’ll create lasting memories of England’s wild beauty, timeless charm, and unforgettable stories.
