Ghost walk York

Slightly misleading information re meeting point 23 Shambles should be removed. Having said that the guide phoned us and put us right. Lou, our guide was very informative and very interesting to listen too. One very minor criticism is that Lou walked at quite a fast pace and some members of our party found it hard to keep up. We would definitely recommend this activity. Thank you Lou

Would definitely recommend

We really enjoyed our tour with George on Sunday night. He was very entertaining and we learnt lots of new facts about the city. He made sure to speak to and involve everyone in the group and even stayed and chatted to us after the tour ended. Would definitely recommend (hope to see you at Fountains Abbey George!)

Great tour!

Amazing walking tour led by George. His storytelling was great, vibrant and funny. Loved the ghost stories and the historical/architectural facts along the way too! Perfect evening activity :)
