5.00Mad Alice was amazing. From her costume, to the history she imparted, to the way she interacted with the crowd was both entertaining and informative.
Well worth the money

5.00Absolutely fantastic! Lady Peckett was great, very entertaining with a brilliant sense of humour. She did very well to keep the large group organised and made sure she had our full attention before starting the next “story”. She also made the effort to talk to different group members along the way which resulted in me finding out she is a fellow S6 girl! Small world! Thank you.
Fun gory and informative

5.00We went on this tour as a family of 5, with 3 children aged 11,9,9. Alice was great the whole way through - she made sure the children could see and hear at all times which was lovely. Her story telling and comedy throughout was amazing. We are still talking about the ghosts we learned about now!! I would highly recommend Alice’s tour - she is fantastic.
A must do in York

5.00Mad Alice was incredibly entertaining and genuinely funny. The tour was not only interesting but very well paced. She’s a fantastic storyteller who really brings the history to life, amazingly she makes you feel special as she remembers everyone's name!! I’ve done many tours over the years, and this was honestly one of the best. Highly recommended!
