Ghostly tales - Really interesting and informative, the lady had done a real indepth research and carried out the tour brilliantly, her role and how she delivered kept us focused and eager on each stage of the walk. And a cliff tram thrown in too. Well worth the fee

Fun interesting introduction to Scarborough - Great and fun way to get an introduction into the history of Scarborough. Perfect amount of murder to funny dialogue as well as a beautiful stroll throughout the area. Originally we weren’t available on the regularly scheduled tour night but they were very accommodating and let us schedule a different night for our own group. Don’t be afraid to ask. Super communicative via email.
