Highlighted reviews from other travelers
The lady who did our tour was excellent! (Saturday 14th Dec, 18:45). She said at the end it was only her second time doing the tour and we honestly couldn't tell, seemless and engaging throughout. Funny and nformative with great story telling. We have been on 3 different ghost tours now in York and only one story has been repeated on all of them, each with new details and differing points of get us thinking. Thank you once again to our lovely tour guide who made our evening in York memorable and fun!
Superb, guide was very knowledgeable and made every story entertaining.
