Alice may be mad, but is truly awesome! - We made a last-minute decision to book the walk with Mad Alice and are simply delighted we did! Really knowledgeable, a rapier quick wit, and entertaining - and actually pretty good at directing traffic too.

Alice stands and delivers! - We were on the Bloody Tour on 17th September - had a fabulous time and can recommend it whole-heatedly. Saw quite a few nooks and crannies of York and learnt a bit about it's murderous history. Alice was a fabulous Lady - the Queen of the dramatic pause, and a lot of fun. We watched her work her audience and as we walked she touched base with everyone and found out a bit about them. A really nice touch that was not lost on us. Book - you won't be disappointment!
