An absolute must if in York, plenty of tales of death and torture! A cracking evening trawling the cobbled streets of York.

The lady that did the event (I think her character was Margaret Pimm), was absolutely fantastic. Her knowledge of York history was great and included so much humour which made it for everyone on the walk I think.

She’s a really good storyteller. Her act makes it more interesting. I really enjoyed walking and listening to her. I would definitely recommend

very entertaining, and informative, if somewhat slightly over-theatrical. i think the the guide was called miss peckit, she was very good at getting people to join in with the overall atmosphere of the tour, and very nice looking too.

Such a fantastic tour filled with laughs and giggles, but also some informative history and a few ghost stories of the town of York. We will definitely be booking another on our next visit. Thank you Lady Peckett.

Really fun, interactive tour. She got us involved with the tour and was so positive and upbeat despite the rain. Would recommend to anyone visiting York.

Me and my wife went on the walk with Lady Pekket and she had me in stitches! The information she shared was great. At the end she had me in the front of the group as Dick Turpin doing a jig 😆 best birthday night ever! Can't recommend enougj!

Lots of fun, and informative even the rain could not dampen the atmosphere well worth £15 for an hour and half and might even learn something along the way 😀
