Fascinating, fun, well worth the cost - Fantastic, really enjoyed this theatrical and dramatic peek into York's gory history. Couldn't believe it was over when it was - I had no idea it had been going so long as I was totally immersed. I'm just sad there aren't more tours in Britain!

What a fabulous self directed informative and fun tour - What a fabulous little self guided tour. It contained great history, humour and easy to follow instructions. It was simple to pause the tour in order to look at something or pit stop for a drink. It was easy to navigate and I love how it auto played so you could concentrate more on the information without being glued to your phone. This was SUCH an enjoyable and easy to follow guide and I would happily do this every day of the week. Couldn't quite work out where the EMF meter was or how to toggle it on. And at one point the narration auto skipped on and I could not replay the last point, but this was minor and did not ruin the experience. Thank you for such a wonderfully put together ghosty jaunt through the beautiful streets and sights of York
