Excellent tour and staff are a credit!! - Absolutely brilliant experience at York Dungeon. Not only is the tour itself brilliant with great actors who are a credit to the company but I am temporarily wheelchair bound due to an operation on my ankle and the team could not do enough for me. They were kind, caring and extremely professional and also full of great humour. They completely ensured I didn't miss a single thing of the experience and actually followed me around the tour to ensure I had exactly the same access as everyone else. Please ensure this is passed onto everyone working on thursday 16th April, you were all brilliant, thank you for making our day!

York Dungeons - Me and my family felt all the emotions (some more than others 😂). The rooms and actors were brilliant!! We even got let in a little earlier than our actual time so that is amazing. Would recommend!

Fantastic experience - Took our grandchildren for a trip out to York dungeon. Aged 10 and 13. We all had a fantastic time! The actors are brilliant, the rooms are very well 'undecorated' the scenery is very well put together. It is quite dark inside, however there are no steps, so no risk of falling. Great for adults and kids, great value for money, as it's around 1.5 hour's long. Everyone makes a huge effort to make your visit one to remember. Even the photographs are good value, at the end of the tour. 10/10 experience, would highly recommend and would most definitely go back.

GO TO THE DUNGEONS PEASANTS!!! - What an amazing activity! I absolutely adored my initial trip to the Blackpool Dungeons so when I had the opportunity to visit the York Dungeons I couldn't wait. The whole tour lasted way longer than expected and was amazing value for money. My favourite part of the whole tour was the carriage ride at the end themed around Dick Turpin. All the actors and actresses were amazing and honestly they deserve a round of applause! It was quite busy but I did go over the Easter holidays! If you're interested in quirky history and spooks them GO TO THE DUNGEONS PEASANTS

Great fun, you have to be game! - Lots of fun! Actors are totally in character, be prepared to be ‘picked on’, the actors will shout at you, accuse you, lock you up, attempt to chop your head off! There are lots of flashing lights, bangs, screams and laughter! Bit of fun !

Don’t Recommend - Wouldn’t recommend - staff are not welcoming at all and don’t want your business. Have done other attractions in York and were treated 100 times better. We simply went up and asked if there was availability to go into the Dungeon, two staff members were standing outside having a conversation and trying to flirt with the young girls at the front of the queue so refused to answer our question. I then took a spot in the queue while my dad tried for the second time to ask the question. I could see this happening. As my dad approached and asked the staff member turned away from him and refused to answer the question while making a face. At this point we left, not good customer service at all and would NOT recommend despite how good the attraction might be. Let down at the first hurdle. Tried to phone the office with no answer to discuss what happened.
