Our host was very welcoming to the crowd who were from all over the world. We were then treated to vivid and entertaining ghost stories told with a dash. Brilliant finale! Moving and really very good! We attended The Ghost Trail on Tuesday 13 July at 7.30pm beneath the tree at the west doors of the Minster. more

We met at 7:30pm at the west end of York Minster last Saturday. It was a warm night and the actor arrived some minutes before and the tour started when the bell on York Minster struck half past. He was full of character and it felt like he really believed in the stories some of which gave me a thrill... more

Cannot recommend this tour enough.The guide is excellent, and gives a real sense of atmosphere. Theres some good old corny humour (but not overdone) and some very spooky tales.

This ghost trail was great. Pretty thrilling and fun for the kids. Have been on a few ghost trail's but this is the best so far. It was cold but it was the stories and the atmosphere that was so goode. The guide who looked like a giant was really great with the kids especially. Quite an achievement and a... more

This is the second ghost tour we have done in York and I really enjoyed it. It was snowing really hard and one of the coldest night of the year but it made it more fun. i loved the bloke's voice who did the tour, very dramatic and he was very entertaining. Would certainly recommend it. more

Excellent! Entertaining and spooky. Came over last Saturday with my tribe. They so enjoyed it. We were up talking about the stories in the night and the kids too the next morning. Our guide was so entertaining and really great jokes too. But the stories! So good. Thank you to our guide. Thank you Ghost Trail. more
