A real must. A fun filled tour of The Shambles in York. This was the second time we had been on the tour and it was as much fun as the first time back in 2011. Will do again, was great to see the same old face, the walking commentary was just the best had every one in fits of... More

Fifth time in York, and as we were taking friends this time decided to revisit The Ghost Hunt of York. Excellent value for money and very entertaining. Your leader immediately catches your attention on his approach, and for £5 gives you an excellent hour and a half of stories mixed with humour. Nothing offensive - suitable for all ages. Enjoyed...

This walk is great value for money, great enertainment and will have you laughing. As you see other ghost walks on your way around York you can see that this is the best by the amount of people that are on it. At the end of the day no ghost walk in the world will have you scared (unless you... More

From the moment we met our guide till he left us just over an hour later, this was live entertainment at its best. Costing just £5 it was also great value for money. We were party to some entertaining ghost stories, told with style and humour and suitable for all. I am not going to mention anything about what goes... More

I took the tour with my 10 year old son and it was a great tour for both of us. Mixed with ghost stories and humor it kept us entertained for the entire trip. Would recommend for families or single people. Not a very far walk, so it is easy for those who are not avid walkers or have younger... More

This was a great ghost walk, the guide walked us around the city of york telling ghost stories from a theatrical point. Great for kids and adults. A good way to learn about some of the history of York and a great first ghost walk if your up for more than one.

We took this ghost walk in York on a Friday evening at 7.30pm from across the road from the Golden Fleece Pub. There was quite a crowd gathered and we met up with another group of people waiting at a second pick up point. The walk is suitable for all ages and there were children on this walk who were... More

Had an amazing time on the ghost walk with my friends for my birthday! Absolutely hilarious and my friends thoroughly enjoyed me being picked on by our guide Dan. He kept us thoroughly entertained through the entire route of the ghost hunt and interacted with the members of my party expertly. All of them cannot stop praising the ghost walk... More

I had arranged a private Ghost Hunt for my daughter and her friends. Dan was the guide and he was brilliant and very entertaining. It was my daughter's birthday and he made her feel very special. This is a great experience that has a magical mixture of humour and spookiness! I would absolutely recommend the Ghost Hunt to anybody. It... More
