    Daria Deathly made this tour exciting, terrifying, engaging and very funny. From start to finish she had the whole group hanging on her every word- we thoroughly enjoyed every moment.

    The tour was a lot of fun. David, our tour guide, was quite a storyteller and might have been the best part of it

    Fantastic tour experience! Our guide, "Dalton Deathly", was exceptional. Funny, bright, entertaining, safety conscious - he showed us a totally different perspective on this beautiful city. We had arrived in York only an hour before - it was a really special way to be introduced to York. Totally recommend this experience - I only had a fiver for a tip but it was worth much more. Next time. THANKS!

  • Very interesting
