Really enjoyed my night. While other tours in York focus on ghosts, this one focuses more on real history of people and events of the past. In my opinion, that is more chilling than supernatural stories. We were lucky to be in a small group, which, in my opinion added more personality to the night and had you more involved. Our guide was witty and humorous and great to be around. Overall would recommend him and the tour to a friend instantly.

Tour was on time, made to feel welcome. Tour guide was excellent with both facts and humour. We also got off the bus and went on a short walk via the Shambles which was good. Would recommend this tour.

Had a really fun, insightful time on this tour! Phil, our tour guide, was exceptional and really knew how to engage with the crowd. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend.

Fantastic is the only word to describe the experience
