Very funny, enjoyable, whilst being so informative about York. Loads to tell us, while being witty. Took time to talk to all of us, me, my daughter and other guests. Me and my Daughter Tilly did alot around York, and we loved it all, but Mad Alice's experience was our favourite thing!! Great value too. Definitely recommend 👌 thanks Alice's. Its hard to make my daughter appreciate history, so job well done!! I alot got to enjoy the history,.whilst keeping my Tilly happy.

Mad Alice’s The Bloody Tour of York was fantastic! Our guide was friendly, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable about York’s history. Even on a cold February night we had a great time. She was very aware of group safety as we moved through the city, which we really appreciated. A true don’t miss tour — perfect for adults, but fun for younger explorers too. Highly recommended!

From the very start Alice was funny, engaging and friendly, calling every guest by name.. how the hell she remembered everyone’s name immediately was both impressive and made the tour even more personal. While giving an educational and informative tour of some of York’s horrible history and ghost stories, Alice took the time to speak to everyone, offer further things to do and places to visit, and keep us thoroughly entertained. We loved it! Wholly recommend taking Alice’s tour!

This honestly exceeded every expectation! We learned so much about York through the stories - which were intriguing and gruesome, but also very entertaining. It was the guide, however, which made this so incredible. “Mad Alice” was so knowledgeable, so personable, and so funny - I could have listened to her tell stories all night. The group was big (maybe 50 people) but she projected and spoke so well that she could be heard clearly even in the back of the group. This was undoubtedly the highlight of our time in York!

Brilliant delivery of some interesting info of York – some we knew but some we didn't. It was pouring with rain but she did a good job of finding us cover which we all appreciated!
