Mad Alice York - Great Tour - The walking tour was brilliant. About 25 people taken by Mad Alice to all corners of the city centre and through back streets with many colourful and sometimes gruesome story’s along the way. Mad Alice was brilliant, arriving in full costume dress and guided by lantern, she really brought everything to life from start to finish. She seemed to make every effort to ensure each and every person felt part of the tour and enjoyed the experience. Very interesting, informative, and funny too. Fully recommend.

Great experience - Mad Alice was a hoot! To remember name of everyone in the group (approx 30) and constantly use them throughout the whole walk was amazing and very comforting. It was great to understand the history York and who was from there. An absolute must!
