Ghastly tales of York - Our ghost host was great with spooky ghastly tales of York. A fun evening for everyone . His stories were appropriately ghoulish and ghastly with lots of gory details for us to enjoy.

Expected more, a little unimpressed by the content and this may have effected the delivery - Maybe a little bland, informative but less than inspiring, was good to be informed of Yorks dark history but was left a little less impressed by the delivery of our guide

The tour did not take place - There was none at the named meeting point at the specified time. We waited 20 minutes and no one got there until then. Then we left.
