Fantastic walk and knowledge. - Welcomed at the meeting point warmly by Ross. Chatted about york, what we had been doing, where we were from etc. Waited only 5 minutes and then the tour began. Ross had such knowledge about York and its grisly history. Loved his 'storyteller' voice and his jokes. Would highly recommend to all. Well done Ross.

Absolutely perfect - Absolutely superb - it was a fantastic evening and Ross was a truly brilliant host - engaging and friendly and the stories were fantastic, his delivery was absolutely first rate. It was great weather and a small group and I was very happy we had booked this one rather than a group of 20 led by someone in a witches hat and a megaphone. Super interesting ghost stories and history lessons and Ross was truly 10/10. Recommend to everyone to book this tour.
