    Our second visit but a first for the rest of the family.It was just as much fun as the fist time and great to see their reactions to everything.It is so funny but also informative and I love the interaction. I would and have recommended this to friends and family.

    It wasn't quite what I expected been called a ghost tour as it wasn't as spooky and scary as I thought however if you like to learn your history about the town/city your having your tour in it is very historical and an eye opener about real life people from the past.

    ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!! “Phil” and “Bob” (if that’s they’re real names!) were excellent hosts/guides. Very funny and interactive with everyone on board. The stories were fascinating, the bus itself has a lot of character. I really hope the history of this bus is true. (I won’t spoil it) This was our first time visiting York. If I come back I’m definitely doing this again. And I’ll recommend that anyone looking for something to do here, you have to do this. You will not be disappointed!!
