Morbidly fantastic - Absolutely beyond incredible. Our Host Divina Deadly (I think that's how you spell her name) was amazing. The tour was creepy and educational, and overall absolutely fascinating. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in the supernatural and local York history.

Fun girly evening - Went on the tour as a group of friends from York, having a girly evening. Dafydd was hilarious and made it a proper show. It was nice to get to experience the different sides of York and hear the stories having lived here for many years. Would highly recommend and it'll definitely get your steps in!
