    Informative and Spooky. A must book tour when you are visiting York. Divina was in character the whole duration of the tour which made her stories more spooky. 10/10 for me 👍

    Kids with vivid imaginations should avoid this tour. My ten year old found it too scary. But the host was fun, engaging and funny. Great if you don’t have kids I imagine!
