What travellers are saying
- Jamwell T1 contributionI don't normally leave reviews for anything but I feel this tour attraction needs to be praised.
Dalton Deathly was our hugely entertaining guide and storysmith as he led us around the sights of York and their gruesome history.
I cannot recommend this tour enough if you are visiting the city, even if you don't believe in ghosts or the supernatural the guides charm and charisma is more than enough to keep you thoroughly entertained.Written March 13, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Molly ThorntonDumbarton, UK7 contributionsJoined Mad Alice for an evening tour of York as a birthday treat along with my partner Jack & dog Baloo 🐶. Alice did not disappoint! We had the best time learning about the gruesome history of York and its tales behind the beautiful landmarks. Aside from Alice’s fantastic story telling and vast knowledge, she took the time throughout the tour to have personal chats and getting to know each and every party, which added that extra personal touch. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for something to do of an evening!Written March 12, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kerry B1 contributionThe Ghost Bus tour of York is brilliant. The conductor was very amusing and my friend and I, really enjoyed. So pleased we booked it. Highly recommend this as part of a visit to the city.Written March 13, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sarah H3 contributionsIt was absolutely fantastic from start to finish our guide, Dan had us engaged from the get go and his deliverance of stories was outstanding! Very witty! I'm just thankful the Scots Law was dropped in 2012 😜! Met Mackenzie "the boss" also who was very approachable and informative. Was lovely ending to ur weekend away! Thanks again Shadows of York it was a pleasure!Written March 9, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Maisie PoppySalford, UK86 contributionsMy sister and I found the cruise/tour really fun and informative. Sophia was the driver and commentator, we thought she was brilliant! The other skipper was called Josh (I think! So sorry if I have misremembered) and he was lovely too. :)Written March 11, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Garry999Worcester, UK61 contributionsThis tour was excellent. Dave was very knowledgeable with the history of York and went above and beyond to give us as many insights as possible. The tour took approx 2.5hrs and Dave was friendly and chatty throughout. We would highly recommend this to anyone visiting York.Written March 13, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Karen EEdinburgh8 contributionsWe booked this small group walking tour of York to get a feel for the layout of the city as well as its history. The tour was excellent. The guide was very knowledgeable and covered a swathe of history in an entertaining way. He ensured all members of the group were included and the fact it was a small group made it easy to ask questions. I would highly recommend.Written March 9, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Paul KPlymouth, UK14 contributionsWe were the last to go in before they closed. There was only 4 of us, but they didn’t hold back. A fantastic show was out on with no sign of fatigue. Fantastic actors.Written March 9, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

She shown us various lovely scenes
The only thing was out of her hand is that the gates to the bridge was closed so couldn’t get on itWritten March 12, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - SsLs5 contributionsI decided to take the york moors & Whitby trip for a special occasion and I wasn't disappointed. John the driver was amazing, full of knowledge of the area, 9 till 5 and we covered lots of wonderful places. Beautiful scenery, wonderful weather that was typically yorshire, sunshine, rain,rainbows, sleet, snow, wind, but it all added to the true nature of the land in my opinion. Hot drinks were comforting, seen sights I would never of known about. The times were about right to experience a good taster of destinations. Fabulous picture opportunities. Highly recommended company and a true gent of a tour guide. I may do the yorkshire dales tour another time if I get the chance to come back. Many other tours of mountain goat across the country I heard too so that's great to know. Well worth the moneyYork. I am not going to place any pictures on here as I think people should witness the experience for them selves as much as im tempted.Written March 13, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
