Mad Alice, was Fabulous, Friendly super informative, Comical and interacted with every single person on the tour, making it super personal at the same time. Fully enjoyed every minute. I suffer with asthma so was a bit worried about the walking but tbh barely noticed I was doing it due to the frequent stops for stories and no fast pace needed. I'd highly recommend 👍🏻

The Mad Alice tour was the highlight of York for me. Mad Alice was incredible and super interactive with the group. Her memorization skills are very impressive!

Lovely experience, Alice was super engaging and the expert of local York histories and stories. My daughter and I had a great experience with her. Highly recommended!

Had a lot of fun with Mad Alice, she is really a brilliant actress and definitely she can use a word!! Still very impressed with her memory skills, I really don’t know how she does it! The tour is cool, lots of spooky stories under the flickering evenings lights that make York look even spookier! Very recommended
