Fantastic experience. Very well done. Me and my family which included 2 grandchildren enjoyed every minute of it

Absolutely amazing! I loved the interactive format, the actors were brilliant - some too realistic … My 9 year old grandson loved it too although some parts were a little too scary for him. I had to keep reminding him it was pretend which shows just how good it was! My favourite part was when he was chosen for ‘execution’ - apparently grandma isn’t supposed to shout ‘execute him’ with such enthusiasm. Would 100% recommend this. I did balk at the cost at first but it was worth every penny. Only one negative but not enough to downgrade - as someone with a disability, the unevenness of the floor together with the dark made me a little hesitant but still not enough to downgrade the experience. Oh and if you are disabled and need the toilet, find somewhere else to go beforehand as they are situated out of the building, up some steps and down some stairs! Take your kids, frighten them half to death and then laugh about it all afterwards!

Fun time , great actors and interactions with the audience. Lots of fun plus jumps and scares. Well decorated and themed to local events. Fun even if you've visited one of the other locations.

This was an amazing tour. I didn’t know what to expect and it was fun, really interesting and a little bit of scary.

York Dungeons is not as scary as it used to be years ago but there are plenty of opportunities to be jumpy Great actors throughout the rooms and the storytelling was very good
