Customer Reviews

Mackenzie from Shadows of York hosted a great private ghost tour of York for my son and a few of his friends for his birthday. Great communication beforehand and the tour itself was very interesting and had just the right amount of intrigue and scare to appeal to all. Would recommend!

We had Dan as our guide for the ghost walk last night, and he was fantastic. He’s an exceptional storyteller with a real talent for captivating the audience and effortlessly weaving humour into his tales. The stories were fascinating, and his delivery made the experience truly memorable. I’d definitely recommend doing the walk in the evening, it adds to the spookiness!

Absolutely fantastic ghost walk through York! The tour was the perfect mix of entertaining, funny, and factually interesting, packed with stories that brought the city’s spooky history to life. The 90 minutes flew by, there was never a dull moment. Our host, McKenzie, was incredible, witty, engaging, and clearly passionate about York’s ghostly past. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city, whether you’re a history buff, a skeptic, or just looking for a great night out!
