5.00My friend and I, starting out our time in Leeds, had the opportunity to take this tour. A very fun way to get acquainted with a new city. Lord Catch was very entertaining and engaged with the material of the tour! We learned many fun and interesting things about the city and some really spooky lore! I would absolutely recommend this tour or any other one hosted by the Yorkshire Ghost Tours! I’ve been to the Otley one as well, and it’s amazing! The tours are immersive, a lot of fun, and hosted by gracious and talented people who weave groups of strangers together for an hour with lots of ghostly fun!👻🤍

5.00We had a great and entertaining evening with Katharina Schrecknacht, a very knowledgable guide into the haunted history of Leeds. The stories were very interesting , light-hearted and diverse, telling of love, murders, accidental death's as well as suicides? The tour offers a great mixture of history and legend as well as background knowledge of Leeds and its development. We had a wonderful time and can highly recommend the experience.

1.00This was the worst ghost tour I’ve ever been on. Our guide was awkward, unconfident and kept trying to be funny with really awkward cringy jokes. It wasn’t as ghost tour - just a tour about different murders. Doing a ghost tour around Leeds city means drunk people are constantly getting involved and there was zero atmosphere. Would not recommend
Chilling tales on a wintery eve!

5.00We joined Katharina Shreknacht on her ghostly tour of Leeds. It was a freezing winter’s evening made all the more chilling with her gruesome tales and excellent historical knowledge! Katharina was a fabulous storyteller and did a wonderful job of keeping the group together. This was a brilliant activity for a cold seasonal night and a great way to embrace the city of Leeds!
Great Ghost Tour

5.00Lord Bartholomew was an amazing guide, humorous and engaging. The tour was the perfect length and gave us a new perspective of Leeds. The crowd size was great - big enough to feel part of something without struggling to keep up/feeling detached from the guide.
Great fun!

5.00Awesome guide, very theatrical complete with rambunctious tales, riddles and jokes while roaming about town. Really enjoyed it, great storytelling with a delightful vernacular and impressive stage presence with a witty repartee and managing to keep our mixed group of adults, children and vloggers (?) entertained. Enjoyed both the tales tales and the telling.
Exciting Ghost Tour exploring Leeds’ dark past that still echoes today

5.00The stories are captivating and very well delivered. Lord Bartholomew Catch has been a Leeds local for a couple of centuries and knows all about its hauntings, history, and cursed cobblestones.
