An Amazing Experience - An absolute must on a visit to York! From his introduction onwards Dalton Deathly was so brilliant and we were all captivated by the way he told us of the ghostly tales around the city. He was informative and very funny in his narration and we would highly recommend this company for a great evening of pure joy! 10/10!!

A gem in the heart of York - From the start, Dalton was engaging, friendly and very entertaining. Dalton’s enthusiasm for the subject was infectious. Very informative, sometimes unnerving but with his own blend of humour. Dalton ensured we didn’t get run over, have our ‘shins shredded’ or abducted by any ghostly dogs, for which I will be eternally grateful 😉 I would certainly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to experience the ‘scary’ side of York. 10/10

Dalton Deathly Makes the Dark fun! - Dalton Deathly is more entertaining than ghosts, barghests (?), and Black Death have any right to be! A real pleasure. Thanks for saving our souls at the end. It was a near miss!

Not what expected but still fun all the same - The energy and enthusiasm of our tour guide was fab. Not sure about the stories but it was all a good bit of fun. Not sure we’d do again now we’ve done it, however we don’t regret booking as it was something new and different to do. worth booking if you want something to do in York that doesn’t involve bars or a pub crawl. These guys obviously work hard. Thanks for the experience.
