I join a free tour group waiting in Exhibition Square. Our enthusiastic volunteer guide explains things in great detail and is very honest when he doesn't know the answer to a question. Highlights include walking along the Roman Wall and standing on the towers; seeing a Roman cemetery; visiting the Yorkshire Gardens and seeing a medieval abbey whose unsupported walls are still standing; ascending the Monk Bar (medieval tower) where Richard III once stayed; and exploring Holy Trinity Church, with its box pews and thousand-year-old foundation. I am sorry when the tour ends, even though by this time I am exhausted. It was an excellent tour. With a knowledgeable guide and interesting companions, it was manageable for all ages. It was better than most tours that charge. It's only about 3 hours. Do it.
