A wonderful tour of York with history and the paranormal intertwined - The tour was absolutely fantastic and catered for me whilst I was in a wheelchair due to a broken foot. Absolutely amazing to hear about the history of York with such passion. Thoroughly recommend!

Fantastic Dark Chronicles walk!! - We truely enjoyed this tour with our incredible guide Jez. Jez had a way with words that could make the hair on your arms stand up. We loved learning the history of the town, and enjoyed the humour and clear passion that our guide had. Would absolutely come back with friends, thank you Jez, for making this such a memorable experience. Look forward to seeing you again soon.

Dark history and some interesting additions! - The tour was an hour and 15 minutes and gave a good insight into Stratford, without you know who! Sophie was very friendly and knowledgeable and we loved it.
