Overview

This is a private tour so it will be just your group and guide (plus the ghosts of York). Our experienced guide will tell you tales from Yorks' gruesome past, executions, murders, the plague and ghosts, as we make our way round some of the spookiest places in the city. The price is per group. As it is by private booking, we can be flexible about your exact requirements, start time, and pick-up point. We can offer hotel pick ups* and as we can start at different locations, the tour route can be customised. *City centre only. Check before booking.

Great Tour!

Published on May, 2025

We did the dark tales tour and we had a great time! Our tour guide had some great tales of the dark history of York and kept us entertained throughout. Thank you!

Excellent. Private is hands down the way to go

Published on Apr, 2025

Private tour is the way to go. Our guide was a perfect blend of storyteller, historian, and York guide. He told the perfect blend of fact and (perhaps) fiction while tying it all to our upcoming visit to York
