Dark Tales of York. Private ghost tours.
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.
