What travellers are saying
- Apollo86BWorcestershire41 contributionsI had always wanted to do a tour like this when we have visited various places, but never managed it until we came to York. Really enjoyed the tour round, the history, the spooky stories & the great humour of our tour guide Dalton.Written 20 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- hester_cooperSouthampton, United Kingdom23 contributionsWe absolutely loved Mad Alice and her tour of York. It was incredibly educational but also very fun and easy to listen to. Alice is a great story teller and very engaging. Alice also took the time to learn everyone’s names on the tour and those personal touches were really special.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone visiting York. Thank you Alice xxxWritten 17 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Phil Grave (!) was great and the whole experience was funny, silly and very well done! My 80yo mum and 21yo daughter loved it too.Written 16 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Lisha WanderlustLondon, UK27 contributionsMy mum and I had a lovely time on the boat ride! It was a wonderful experience, especially with the beautiful weather. Andy was both funny and knowledgeable, making the trip even more enjoyable. The rest of the team were also fantastic—friendly and professional.

- themannsfamilyBridgnorth, UK15 contributionsWe had a couple of nights in York and decided to book a ghost walk, which is always a good way to find out the history of a place, especially one with such a past as this city. We joined a group that met outside the Guy Fawkes pub near York Minster and our guide, Mackenzie, led us around some of the spookier parts of the city. She was very knowledgeable and the tour was very entertaining and informative, shedding a light on some of York’s gruesome history. The stories were told with good humour but gave a real flavour of the city’s past. Well worth the money, even on a bitterly cold night!Written 17 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jackie JChelmsford, UK42 contributionsA great tour with David. We appreciated his passion, enthusiasm and energy.
