A great end to our holiday in York. Really entertaining as well as being informative plus expect a few surprises along the way. Although advertised for older children our 5 year old loved it. Have done this tour three times over fifteen years and it just gets better evey time. more

Forget all the other ghost walks in York. Meet Mr Dextrous or one of his fellow guides at The Shambles for a very funny evenings entertainment. The victorian costumes even down to the chilling doctors bag all add to the evening, even the fact that it rained all night couldn't spoil the very entertaining stories and i loved the way... more

I didnt really want to go on this tour, preferring to go for a more "serious" one, but my husband persuaded me and I'm really glad he did! It wasn't at all frightening, but walking through the narrow snickelways of York on a dark autumn night was very atmospheric. The tour leader was brilliant, managing to keep a large group... more

A very professional showman. He's coining it in too, with the number of people he collected, even at this time of year. A crowd from each end of the Shambles. This made it difficult to keep up and see properly. Apart from that, good entertainment for a fiver. more

I have been on ghost hunts before, including York, and it has turned into a family tradition on All Hallows' Eve. My ten year old daughter and I took her Nan this year, and specifically chose this ghost hunt, for the rave reviews we had read on-line and the glowing recommendation we got from a rival ghost hunt. On the... more

We went to York for a long weekend and 'The Ghost Hunt of York' was the highlight! We had such a laugh. At first we thought that the amount of people was going to hinder the experience, but we were so wrong. So if you arrive and find 40 other people waiting, don't be put off. It was a really... more

I went on The Ghost hunt of York during my final night in the city. I had already been on a Ghost walk during my stay but thought I'd do another as I quite enjoyed the first one. This walk was compleatly different to the first as it was more theatrical, and to be honest, not nearly as many stories... more

The host turned up bang on time, made a few corny jokes which started the trip nicely, bearing in mind that this is not a carefully managed stage show the hostmade best use of the surroundings and the audience to provide a very enjoyable trip around York telling ghost stories where they happened, some of them being factual (as i... more

We had the pleasure of this tour while in York for the weekend and both thoroughly enjoyed every second. Our guide, Mr 'Rigor-Mortis', was a real entertainer and had the large crowd eating out of his hands with his mixture of slapstick and, at times, unsettling and spooky ghost stories. Overall, a must do while in York and one for... more
