Made the whole group bark - Came to York with my wife for a little get away and we have always wanted to go on a ghost walk. We had an amazing time despite the weather being cold, our tour guide Dolton was absolutely fantastic, he cracked some extremely funny jokes and never failed to make the whole group feel welcomed. Would recommend this tour to anyone! Extremely fantastic time....would recommend adding ferret to one of his comments about small animals

Spooky, informative, and amusing. - We enjoyed a highly entertaining couple of hours in the capable hands of our animated tour guide, Dalton. Even with a large multinatonal group, Dalton kept all enthralled with his knowledgeable and humorous tour through some of York's lesser know dark history. Highly Recommended

Fascinating, informative and extremely entertaining - A great way to see the city whilst learning some interesting facts and great ghost stories of the city. Not a dull moment from start to finish, I was hooked on every word our Guide Dante had to say. Dante was very informative and extremely entertaining throughout the duration of the tour and never once let the less than ideal weather derail him from delivering a great tour. If your in York I highly recommend this tour!

Ghostly Delights - Had a private ghost tour with my family (30 of us) on a rainy, cold and very windy Friday evening. Fortunately, the evening was brightened up by an absolutely brilliant, entertaining and interesting ghost tour of the city. We couldn't fault any of it and would certainly recommend the experience to others. Superb!!

Brilliant tour. Don’t hesitate to book. - Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Funny, entertaining and informative. The weather was atrocious but Dalton’s enthusiasm never faltered and we laughed a lot. My daughter is a ‘Londoner’ and hard to impress - she loved the tour. Would absolutely recommend.

Delightfully Dark. - Great tour wonderfully led by our guide, Dante. Despite it being a wet and cold night, he gave us a full 90-minute experience full of fun, facts, and frights. Good fun, highly enjoyable and entertaining. Would certainly do again on a return visit. Make sure you check it out.
