Traveler reviews
Poor
One of our party had a medical episode right at the start of the tour. The tour guide saw what was happening and didn’t even acknowledge us. Didn’t check if everything was ok or even if we needed an ambulance or anything. We ended up losing the guide in the end after her episode had passed. There was nothing to distinguish them from the crowds of people so no way of catching them up. No contact details were given incase anyone became separated from the group. Whilst it wasn’t the tour guides fault we had a problem, the fact that there wasn’t even an acknowledgment was. Very disappointing
Give it a try
Walking With Frank interesting content good stories, the right balance of facts and spooky stories, witty, quirky Would recommend to learn about York’s history
Tourist trap
Indeed it was the 31st of October so I guess the biggest day for ghost tours at the year, BUT way too many tours at the same time - you could hear the same stories from three guides at the same time but out of sync… Too many in the crowd and strangers could just join without paying which they did - waste of money!
Great tour
Joe was great! Really interesting history and stories
Extreme Corporate Greed
Disgusting example of corporate profiteering - our tour was totally overbooked. Our poor guide was brand new (not an actor) and hadn’t had time to prepare himself, although the other half of our group was taken by an actor. We had to follow other groups round, stand outside tescos and in other bizarre venues because there wasn’t enough space for us. Actually shocking these tickets were sold
