Great guide, spooky sights

5.00An absolutely fun, fabulous and spooky ride! Our tour guide Phil and bus driver Bob were exellent, keeping it entertaining, lively, and hillarious. It can be cheesy at times, but if you're like me, you'll love it. This is absolutely worth your money, and if my partner and I ever come back to York, we will be making sure to catch that bus again.

5.00Had Bob as a driver and Phil Graves as our guide. He was really great, a good combo of comedy and ghost stories. Suitable for families. We went on an afternoon ride and had a really enjoyable experience. Would absolutely recommend as a different way to tour York.

5.00An absolutely brilliant experience. Funny and informative all the way through. The tour host was amazing, funny, witty and knowledgable. Mad, unpredictable and definitely money well spent.
