Review the Ghost Bus Tour of York, with spooky stories, historic sights, practical tips, value advice, and honest drawbacks.
“I expected the tour to be stories of the paranormal etc but most of it was done as a joke. I couldn't tell if the places and events were real or not. We got off the bus at one point, this was dangerous as we had to follow the guide over a busy road at night. There was no attempt at safety to ensure everyone was back on the bus. Not in the least scarey, too much emphasis on jokes.”

“The lady who did our tour was excellent! (Saturday 14th Dec, 18:45). She said at the end it was only her second time doing the tour and we honestly couldn't tell, seemless and engaging throughout. Funny and nformative with great story telling. We have been on 3 different ghost tours now in York and only one story has been repeated on all of them, each with new details and differing points of get us thinking. Thank you once again to our lovely tour guide who made our evening in York memorable and fun!”
