Fabulous evening had with Gill who was the most captivating storyteller. A lovely non strenuous walk taking in some beautiful sights of Whitby and learning some fabulous history that had us chatting all the way home. Highly recommend and cannot thank you enough for a great ending to our holiday!
Above and beyond Gill is outstanding. Friendly and knowledgeable - she withstood the storm and rain to meet us, with a smile on her face. Her rhymes kept us entertained and she was clearly just having a good time, which meant she did too. Hands down the best ghost tour we have been on.
Gill's tour kicked off my birthday celebration. It was freezing cold but she is such a lovely, warm person with a great personality that it didn’t matter at all. The walk isn’t strenuous and you don’t notice any distance, as there are lots of stops for interesting tales told in rhyme. Very entertaining and unique. I definitely recommend as a fun and fascinating way to spend an hour in Whitby.
Fantastic Evening, would definitely recommend! Gill was excellent and the unique way of telling her ghostly tales was very impressive. We all had a great time in Whitby and will definitely be back!
