A Thrilling and Family Friendly Tour - We stayed at the Grand York this trip and it was a quick walk. John Doe the guide was funny and engaging and our girls had a ball. You get to see some highlights of York which was great. The ghost stories were not too gory for the kids but still exciting for the adults. For sure a fun evening activity in York!

Spooky Fun! - Fun and Factual! Informative and Entertaining. The tour guide was very funny, and both he and the bus driver are friendly chaps. This ghost tour will take you to places other ghost tours can not! Enjoy the ride!

Most entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable - We loved the whole experience, Frank Stein’s knowledge and entertainment skills and of course our driver Bob - kids couldn’t stop laughing. I would say though that it’s not suitable for under 8’s - we had some younger kids on this and they looked terrified as they clearly didn’t understand what was going on - nothing to do with Frank or Bob as it’s the parents responsibility!

Highly recommend for fun with the family! - Loved the ghost bus, saw plenty of sights of York with lots of fun, interesting and scary stories. I think our tour guide was called Isaac but I will attach a photo to get it right as he was brilliant, very funny, great character and made it even better plus Bob the driver....very silently funny!!! Loved it, you must try it! Child friendly too.

Cringeworthy - Waste of money! Not a ghost tour, very little actual information. Shouty tour guide, poor attempt at comedy. Embarrassing bus tour of York, there was a short planned stop at St.Cuthberts church where many passengers were heard discussing to leave and not get back on board. Please don’t book. Cringeworthy.
