The best way to experience Scarborough - What an amazing experience! We recently went on a private tour. It was worth every penny. The struck a great balance between the history of Scarborough and some spooky stories about the place. As people who haven't been to Scarborough before it was the perfect way to be introduced to the town and some of its more sinister history. Liah is also an excellent guide. Very informed and plays the part so well to make it interesting and engaging.

Tails of treachery, murder, and a light Gail storm!! - Such a fun, spooky experience. Thank you, we had an so much fun, and thank you for braving the weather, who would of thought the blustery rainy night would make tails of murder so much more real 🤭. See you in the spring

On a dark and stormy night... - We really enjoyed our dark tales tour despite the epic rain!! Thanks to the black widow for being a trooper and carrying on in such awful weather. The tour was very informative and the black widow herself was very engaging and made the dark stories come to life. Thanks for an enjoyable evening 🖤 highly recommend

Enjoyable but noisy - Very interesting, the black widow was really good. I enjoyed the walk round Scarborough it was a lovely night. Unfortunately the market vaults let it down. The noise from the upstairs function spoilt the feeling of the night and you couldn't hear anything like foot steps. It's a shame really.
