We booked the ghost tour as we have visited York many times for weekends away and seen the groups being lead around, we thought we might learn some history as well as doing some thing different but didn’t really think much of it!
We was wrong! on meeting Nigel who had been very good with contact and info from the start, he was even better at capturing our imagination - he was dressed for the part, full of interesting stories, he really got into character and captivated his audience, he was also very knowledgeable on anything else we asked.
We were very impressed and will definitely be recommending Nigel, excellent experience 👍

Loved this tour ran by Nigel into the history (both dark and light) of York.
Nigel communicated beforehand to confirm the booking and meeting place which was helpful. He also kept to time by being at the meeting location and launched straight into the talk. We benefited from being a private group as well, having walked past a group of around 30 on a different tour we were very appreciative of the smaller and personal group size.
The content was perfect for our group - the majority was ghostly tales but scattered in were plenty of historical facts about York. Our group learnt a lot!
Overall, this is an awesome experience and Nigel is a consummate host. I (and the rest of my group) would highly recommend this tour!

Communication between Nigel and myself up until the tour started was excellent even advising to wear warm clothes as the weather was turning chilly to wearing comfortable footwear. Nigel is very knowledgeable on the subject and makes the tour very interesting and enjoyable answering any questions you have. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would have no hesitation in recommending to our friends and family. 10/10

I booked a private tour for a group of ten. Communication from Nigel was really good, answering my questions in a timely manner and he was flexible enough to tweak the tour and timings to our requirements.
The content of the tour was very interesting. He quickly gauged his audience and tailored his delivery and content to suit. Nigel knew his subject matter thoroughly and combined with his excellent delivery, humour and wit, gave us a truly enjoyable evening together, with lots of laughs along the way.
I thoroughly recommend his tour to anybody who wants something private with a friends or family.
Thank you very much, Nigel.

Nigel was a great guide, he could tell there were ghostly skeptics amongst our party and tailored his tour to include more of the history of York, some more macabre than others, with the odd ghostly detail thrown in as it was, after all, a ghost tour. He tactfully informed others that listened in along the way that it was a private tour, respecting our exclusivity for the tour, which was greatly appreciated. Overall a great experience that we would highly recommend.

Nigel was very knowledgeable and entertaining guide. The tour was enjoyed by all.
We particularly liked the fact it was a private tour and not part of a huge party.
