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!
Sara
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!
Emily
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!
Stephen
Dan who did the tour was brilliant a true actor, the stories were great and informative and told with a great humour. The different locations we visited were beautiful and also creepy. It was only a short walk overall around 1 mile so quite manageable. Highly recommend.
Emma
I went on a ghost and history tour with Dan, and I had an amazing time. His way of storytelling was very entertaining and enthusiastic. He really got you invested in the stories. Besides that he just had a great sense of humor. He was always open for questions in between stories, and he could answer them really well. Definitely worth it!
