5.00We were fortunate with the amazing weather on a bank holiday weekend last Friday and even more lucky to have the John Doe and Bob the driver duo. This Bob tells jokes and interacts with the passengers as well as being the driver. John Doe was hilarious and the tour was just the right balance of funny and spooky. Amazing audience participation and a bit of everything whilst also learning all about Yorkshire dark history and just why it’s classed as one of the most haunted cities in Europe.
Conductor was very clear...

5.00Great fun and a good way of learning about the ghostly history of York without walking! We were hosted by John Doe & the bus was driven by Bob …. I laughed a lot and the actors definitely made the tour a lot of fun! I would definitely go again and highly recommended to anyone. Excellent value for money ☺️
