Pub and History Tour of Durham with Alcohol Tasting

Price: £30

About: Discover the best of Durham’s past and pints in one unforgettable walking tour that blends fascinating history with the warmth of traditional British pubs. Led by Walkabout Durham, this small-group experience offers the perfect combination of storytelling and ale-tasting as guests explore the iconic landmarks and hidden corners of this historic city.

The tour begins in Durham’s Market Place, the heart of the city, before winding through cobbled streets, across scenic bridges, and into some of Durham’s most atmospheric pubs. Along the way, visitors will uncover gripping tales of conquest, miracles, royalty, and rebellion—including the powerful Prince Bishops, legendary executions, and colourful characters from centuries past.

At each of the four pub stops—including The Shakespeare, The Victoria, The Dun Cow, and the Half Moon Inn—guests will enjoy a half pint of real cask ale or draught beer/cider, included as part of the experience. Whether soaking in the ambience of a centuries-old tavern or sipping a local brew with a view, the tour offers a relaxed, engaging way to experience Durham’s charm.

From UNESCO World Heritage sites to riverside strolls and historic courts, this is more than a pub crawl—it’s a toast to the stories that built a city.
