2.00It needed to be funny with more interaction, it was difficult to see out of the windows due to condensation. There were however some interesting facts
Not worth it

1.00Awful experience. It didn’t help that it was a dark, wet night, so you could barely see anything out of the windows at the sights which isnt the tours fault. On top of that, there was no structure for seating at all, people who only needed a 2-seater were spreading themselves out across 4-seaters, which meant actual groups couldn’t sit together. Really frustrating and completely avoidable with better organisation. The comedy wasn’t great either. A lot of the material was just Dick Turpin and Guy Fawkes references, nothing particularly spooky despite it being advertised that way. Hardly any audience interaction, and the whole thing just fell flat. Would’ve got off the bus early if I could. Its also a dry bus so no tinnies which would have made it that bit better!
Fun

1.00Awful experience, didn’t help is was a dark wet night so you couldn’t see out of the windows at the sights. Couldn’t really understand the tour guide with the pour quality audio. Felt like we just sat in traffic the majority of the time. Would have got off the bus early if I could. Not worth it, I would suggest a walking tour rather than the bus.
Spooky facts with a little comedy thrown in.

A Dark cold night in York.

4.00Entertaining right from the start. We had several good laughs, personally I wanted a bit more scare than laugh but overall it was very enjoyable.
