It's ginevitable that you'll have a great time with Mad Alice - As we were in York for the York Georgian Festival it was an obvious choice to join Mad Alice on what is now known as 'Mad Alice's Bloody Execution Tour'. We've previously enjoyed 'Mad Alice’s The Bloody Tour of York' so we had a good idea of what to expect that afternoon. How wrong we were! 'Mad Alice's Bloody Execution Tour' was even better with slightly darker tales, new locations, and dare I say, even better storytelling. Looking forward to enjoying her other new walk when we return in December. We'd be MAD to miss it!

The Georgian Tour of York - 5 stars are not enough! Mad Alice is entertaining, engaging and absolutely full of amazing facts. From the famous to the not so famous locals that were executed in York, we may be local but we found out so many things we didn't know. Doing these tours has made me want to find out more about the Yorks amazing history. Whether you are local or visiting make sure you get yourself booked on to a tour with Mad Alice. You will not be disappointed.

Entertaining and informative - Great steady walking tour during the Georgian festival in York, rounded our day off perfectly. Well worth the £10 cost. We particularly enjoyed the humorous interaction with Mad Alice who was very knowledgeable and informative, not just about the subject in hand but about York itself. We were two adults but definitely a family friendly activity. Highly recommend.

A visit to York isn't complete without a tour with our Alice bloody tour of york - When I saw Alice was doing tours for the Georgian festival I had to go so glad I did I learned so much I didn't know before wow 😳 she took us to receive Dick Turpin's grave I've been looking for that for months thanks Alice 😉. So knowledgeable and an amazing guide kept us all engaged in the stories . I highly recommend a tour with Alice to everyone local or just visiting she won't disappoint.
