Great experience, the bus itself is so good and we heard lots of ghostly stories and frank and bob were very funny. The price is great for what u get, a comedy show, horror stories and tour or york all in one. Xx

The “conductor” was great. Made the experience fun and showed us the haunted stories and sites of York. Would highly recommend this tour if you are visiting York.

This is well worth doing! Not scary or spooky really, but so funny and interesting!

Great 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 ☺️
