The experience was both entertaining and informative. Although the crowd was fairly large, too large in fact, Alice did her best to engage with everyone she could.
Fun and interesting! Alice is super engaging and a great story teller. She really brings the history of this amazing city to life. The theme is centered on the macabre, but this serves mainly to bring everything to life
I thoroughly enjoyed our bloody tour of York with mad Alice. She's incredibly knowledgeable and has a remarkable ability for remembering names and making everyone feel included. Loved it
Fantastic great tour with so much fun and laughter. Lots of information but given in a fun way. Would definitely recommend myself husband and daughter just loved it 😊
Really engaging, amazingly detailed and the “performer” was comedic, a natural storyteller and fun to watch and listen. The timing of the experience was perfect and the movement between venues was easy.
Mad Alice was delightfully entertaining and informative. She handled a large group surprisingly well and we appreciated how considerate she was of our wheelchair user son.
