  • Well worth it

    We had a really good time on the ghost tour in York. Our guide, Dante, was charismatic, funny and really knew how to keep everyone entertained. He looked the part, was very knowledgeable, and told the stories in a way that kept you interested all the way through. We saw parts of York that we’d never normally have seen, which made it even better. The stories were great and it was a fun way to see the city. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting York who wants to do something a bit different.

    Our tour guide Dante was fantastic, taking us through some of a plethora of ghost tales of the city. He was engaging and charismatic and felt like watching a one man theatre show. Great way to spend an evening in York!

    I had a brilliant time on the York Deathly Dark Tour, and it exceeded expectations from start to finish. Our guide, Dante Deathly, was outstanding - hugely charismatic, thoroughly engaging, and clearly a natural storyteller. He brought the history and darker side of York to life with a perfect mix of humour, suspense, and genuinely captivating stories. You can tell he has a real talent for this. The whole experience was immersive, entertaining, and well-paced. Whether you’re visiting York or live locally, this is absolutely worth your time. Don’t overthink it - just book it! Highly recommended.
