Had a brilliant experience on the Deathly Dark tour! Me and my family had a little holiday in Yorkshire and really wanted to go on a ghost tour. We ended up with Dante as our tour guide and he was incredible! We couldn’t understand how he’d managed to learn all the information and put on such a great performance, not slipping up once. Mindblown! It was a perfect mix of slightly scary but also funny. Would definitely recommend! 🙌
What a fantastic experience exploring some of the dark histories and tales of York. Despite the good old Yorkshire weather, which is to be expected on a January evening, Dante our tour guide was extremely entertaining and a lot of effort has been put into this. I took my 2 daughters and my partner and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Would recommend for a fun evening exploring the most haunted city in England!
I had an absolutely amazing tour with Davina, from the meeting point to the very end she was on point. She was knowledgeable with a dry sense of humour. I've been on several Deathly Dark tours and each one is different and unique. I fully intend to book in again because I want to experience each guide at least once!
We've now done two ghost walks in York with Deathly Dark Tours, and they've both been absolutely fantastic! Our first was back in March with Dorian Deathly, and the second was today with Dalton Deathly. Both tours were completely immersive, full of spooky energy, and brought the haunted history of York vividly to life. Each guide had their own unique style, but both were brilliant storytellers who kept us hooked from start to finish mixing spine-chilling tales with just the right amount of humour and drama. Even our 8-year-old was captivated the whole way through (and is still talking about it hours later!). We can't recommend Deathly Dark Tours enough. Whether you're a local or a visitor, this is a must-do experience in York. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely smashing 5-stars experience! Spooky, funny, embracing stories told by amazing actors - just an extraordinary worthwhile attraction that you have to treat yourself in York!
