Fantastic Tour of York around the Minster! - Joshua was fantastic!!! He had loads of historical information, gruesome tales and a healthy smattering of dark humor tossed in given with proper dramatic pauses and comedic breaks. Loved the bit about the most terrifying building being the old tax office. Thank you Joshua!!!
