The wonderful witch Nix took us on a really interesting tour of York on a busy Saturday during half term. In spite of potential distractions she remained on track, and extremely entertaining. We finished with a potion making session at Potions and Cauldrons. This was great fun as some of our party were easily spooked. Great for families. This was my daughters hen party and she asked for a ghost/witch experience- this was perfect. We are not what most people would assume a hen party would be. For example one of our party was a chief constable. Thanks once again for a fun experience.

This was a great experience / tour.Ethel was very informative friendly & a fun guide.i got the impression she loved her role. I will definitely return. A fitting end to a great day

Our tour witch Nyx was so informative and full of fun and interesting facts about the people and places of bygone York. Even the lashing rain couldn't dampen her enthusiasm and she kept the whole group on tenterhooks with her funny anecdotes and jokes. Her energy was boundless and she encouraged us all to join in and learn a gruesome thing or two about this wonderful city. After our tour, we had a potion making lesson with our alchemist Naomi who showed us how to make some truly spellbinding cocktails which when sipped, gave us individual super powers to enjoy for the next hour. A fun and enjoyable way to learn something about York and its past.
