Absolutely brilliant. - Absolutely brilliant tour.
The guide was excellent, informative and funny.
He dealt with people watching, who weren't booked on the tour, without really breaking character. Well worth the price. A lot of fun.

Fun Activity - I did this tour while visiting family in Leeds. Although walking tours are not my favourite activity, this was actually a pleasant mid-evening tour.
I found it amusing. The guide was polite, cheerful, and ensured everyone was included. It felt as though it was less than an hour, and it does not feel as though you have been walking for that duration. The tour also introduced me to parts of Leeds that I hadn't seen before, encouraging me to explore further.

Entertaining and educational experience - My 12 year old child and I attended the first #LeedsGhostTour and it was absolutely brilliant. We were guided around the city centre by our engaging ghost host, Lord Bartholomew Catch (and with the adorable, cuddly comfort of an Emotional Support Ghost!) who was very entertaining and knowledgeable. He showed great improvising skills to keep our group together and we highly recommend this to everyone!
