Top-rated York Attractions, Landmarks & More

My friend and I had a girly day out in York and as we had never done the river cruise we decided to give it a go. The skipper Andy was brilliant and kept us all chuckling in the aisles with his witty repertoire. All the crew were friendly, Andrew and Imogen, and the trip was fun and very professional. You get a different perception of York from the river.All in all a great trip, fun, Prosecco and great prices, definitely recommend this trip.

Mad Alice's tour is a must, Alice is the best wench in York and although she is ever so slightly mad she will guide you on a most interesting and informative tour of some of the bloodiest historical sites that York has to offer, great as a group or as a lone spirit she makes everyone welcome and included.

We had a fantastic time on the Mad Alice Ghost Tour in York! Alice was absolutely brilliant — extremely personable, friendly and engaging from start to finish. One of the things that really stood out was how she took the time to learn everyone’s names and made an effort to speak to everyone personally as we moved from one location to another. It made the tour feel really welcoming and personal.Alice had so many interesting stories to tell, bringing York’s history to life in a really entertaining and engaging way. You can genuinely tell that she loves what she does, and her enthusiasm and passion really came across throughout the whole tour.It was a great way to learn more about the history of York while having plenty of fun along the way. I would highly recommend the Mad Alice Ghost Tour to people of all ages — whether you’re a local or visiting York for the first time, it’s definitely worth doing!Thank you, Alice, for such an enjoyable and memorable evening!

I organised this for a group of 29 women & we were not disappointed. Price was great, staff were lovely, friendly, helpful & fun. Bar on board with seat service. Lovely activity & despite our noise we were made to feel very welcome.

Super convenient and remarkably good value I have done this twice now, and the york pass is the way to do it. Booking if needed woth venues can be done, it has neat little discounts for other things too. Just all round, easy to use!!

Excellent visit to the Yorkshire Dales, including extra sites at our request. Chris was an excellent guide with lots of information and knowledge to share. Can't say enough positive about the day!

We had a fantastic experience on Monday! First of all our first trip we had Steve and Yann who were like a double act! Steve was brilliant and we found him very interesting and even though we can’t make it up the stairs it was like he was with us anyway and yann the driver kept pointing things out for us and chatting. We enjoyed it that much we came back for another trip after a very nice lunch. We unfortunately didn’t have Steve or anyone talking but we had the luxury of having driver Yann again and there were only the two of us on the bus and we felt very special as he spent the round trip talking to us and recommending places. He was a very charming young man, who like Steve are a credit to your service, along with the young man at the art gallery bus stand who sadly we didn’t catch his name. We hope to see you again Thursday! love Jayne and Annette (the Hamilton girls) xx

Before buying the pass, choose what you want to do and add up how much it would cost without a pass. You have to work quite hard and cram in a lot of places, from opening to closing times, to make it worthwhile!

Fantastic witchy experience. Brilliant storytelling, very engaging and informative!

Laughed all the way, great way to learn about york

Four of us booked this tour, initially because of the TV series, but also because it gave us the chance to see the beautiful Dales during a relatively short holiday. I can’t praise it enough. John, our wonderful guide, was so knowledgeable (and friendly) and the tour, much of it through breathtaking scenery along narrow lanes, was everything I could have hoped for. Grassington was gorgeous, the Wensleydale Creamery a great spot for lunch (and a chance to overeat on cheese!), and Bolton Castle a fitting finale. Fabulous all round and thank you John for an unforgettable day.

We had a really fun scary time, the staff were amazing funny and scary. The staff helped me a lot with my wheelchair and with the use of stair lift I managed the whole show. I would recommend it to everyone wanting a piece of history in a scary memorable way.

Great fun and tour guide and Cliff were great fun! We heard some great stories and had fun along the way

Excellent experience and would recommend! So much to see and hear and lots of fun. The actors were fantastic - very engaging and every small detail was covered from dress, set, props, make up etc.

This was a wonderful tour, whether or not you are a fan of the show/books. The Yorkshire Dales are beautiful and our guide John was extremely knowledgeable. He has lived in the area most of his life and clearly has a love for it, as his passion comes through in his commentary. I highly recommend the tour.

We had ever such a good time. A lovely journey through the moors while Greg told us all about the history and landscape sharing facts and amusing anecdotes. We were well looked after and always felt taken care of. I would highly recommend.
