Silly History Tours tells the stories of the past the way they were never meant to be told - with humour, characters and a healthy disregard for boring history lessons.

Created in collaboration with The Silly History Boys, our audio walking tours combine genuine historical research with playful, story-led comedy, allowing people to explore cities independently using their phone and headphones.

Our first experience, The Silly History Walk of York, takes listeners on a light-hearted journey through 2,000 years of the city’s history, from Roman emperors and Viking invaders to medieval martyrs, outlaws and Victorian innovators.

Starting in York, Silly History Tours is building a growing collection of audio walking tours across major UK and international cities, making history accessible, memorable - and properly silly.
