Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: York Minster, Minster Yard Deangate, York YO1 7HH England

York has a rich and bloodthirsty history stretching back nearly 2000 years, and its little surprise that it is widely regarded as the most haunted city in the world. These personalised tours last approx. 2 hours and provide a totally unique, bespoke and entertaining history of Europe's most haunted city. Each tour is designed just for you, and your guides have over 200 ghost stories to tell so please get in touch with the local provider if you have any special interests or needs. You will be taken on an atmospheric trip round our ancient city and shown the fascinating hidden areas most tourists miss.

Refreshments can also be arranged along the way with some excellent coffee shops, pubs and restaurants to check out (own expense), and in addition will also tour other parts of the city too (the Castle, York Minster, Shambles and more) should you require. As your local tour guides are passionate about the city, they can also handle any restaurant bookings or just general advice about other things to do in York during your stay.

As these are bespoke tours, please contact the local provider as soon as you can in advance so your booking can be guaranteed and the guides have enough time to prepare the tour for your adequately.

The flavour of our tours is to tell the stories, but in a verified historic context. Please note your guides are not 'actors' and don't use props or get dressed up in Victorian outfits. What they will do is tell you the truth of the ghost story in that area, as well as backing it up with the history of the area and possible reasons for why that area is haunted.

Please note that on this tour it will be only yourselves and your tour guide, for a truly personalised experience of the city.

We did tons of stuff in York, all the classics. But we agreed that this was the highlight of our entire trip. John was entertaining, knowledgeable, funny, engaging and pitched the tour perfectly for a mum with two teenage daughters. Highly recommend and do this instead of one of the tours with actors.

John is not the Actor guide. He is an historian and loves his city. We were entertained and informed. And he told plenty of good stories. This tour is for those who appreciate passionate storytelling that is more historical fiction than it is sheer make believe.

This was our third ghost tour with John and it was entertaining and informative as always. We brought our good friends with us and they loved the experience as well! Highly recommend this tour.

Great guide, knew so much history and ghost type stories that it was both entertaining and educational. On time, professional yet like walking with an old friend. Couldn't have asked for better

John was a great guide. We really liked the more factual focus and the realistic viewpoint of history. We didn’t want a lot of acting and drama. Highly recommended.
