Absolutely brilliant 🤩 - If history teachers at school were as interesting and informative as Alice was then I’d have a history degree right now 😉 Absolutely brilliant, engaging , funny and kept you hanging on her every word. We were a group of 7 and there were lots of other people there but she made sure everyone could hear her and kept together. Also I was in a wheelchair and it was very accessible for me especially with Alice giving me guidance on drop kerbs ect. As we walked from spot to spot she also talked to different people from the group at different times making her seem very personable. We loved her and the tour. Thankyou again. 🤩

Excellent tour. - We all thoroughly enjoyed our Mad Alice bloody tour of York last night. We were amazed she remembered everyone’s name who attended the tour! Like we’d known her for years. It was great fun and interesting hearing all the stories she told so well. Full of knowledge & facts, could have chatted to her all night. Would definitely recommend and would definitely do another tour of hers.

The amazing Mad Alice - A fantastic tour mad Alice was informative, theatrical, every single word she said could be heard from wherever you stood in the group. Not only had she learnt the names of the people who had booked the tour but also moved around the group as we walked along so she could get to meet others and find out where they were from. The tour was great fun and is thoroughly recommended, one of our party was in a wheelchair and mad Alice made sure she was taken care of throughout. Learnt lots about the history of York. Thanks Alice!!

Brilliant Scary & Informative Tour - Alice greets you with the most amazing energy! The tour is about an hour and a half long depending on audience participation and general York crowds. Alice delivers spooky tales and amazing facts at various locations as well as talking to you in between these locations, too. The level of humour and engagement is unparalleled. All in all a very well established and competitively priced tour. Thank you Mad Alice and FYI, Jay's plague worts have now cleared ;)
