The detail of the stories was extremely interesting and our host Josh was very knowledgeable. Josh gave a very good talk ,he obviously knew his subject and would recommend this walk. We also went down streets we probably would have missed had we not been on the tour. Thank you Josh

Mackensie was a great host with some fascinating stories to share. It was a lovely walk around York seeing some interesting places and hearing some spooky stories! Even for the most sceptical the tour is interesting, engaging and informative. Would highly recommend.

Amazing storytelling! Dan was an excellent host with charm and humour to boot! The amazing stories he told made us want to jump straight on to google and research it for ourselves! We would get drenched in the rain again and again for the same experience. Thank you so much.
