Good way to explore the city

A grand evening out.

Dorian Deathly is an excellent and highly entertaining guide.
A very reasonable price for an hour and half's entertainment. Good humor and learning some of Yorks deadly past.
I would recommend this tour.
Great experience

The tour was amazing I would highly recommend taking part in this if you’re in York. The stories were very interesting and made better with the guides sense of humour!

More of a theatrical black comedy experience than enlightening stories of haunting. Only relates 5 stories and took much time to tell each. Good perhaps for families but not for folks looking for more.
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Hi Anne, thank you for taking the time to leave me a review. I do describe my tour as theatrical and for people with a dark sense of humour, so I can't apologise for you expecting otherwise. Although I do think you may have left before the end and missed a few stories if you only counted 5, a few of which are very sombre and unknown by most people. I believe that ghost stories need time to burn and shouldn't be rushed.
It would of course be very dull if everyone enjoyed the same things in life, but it does make me a little sad to read that you think I missed the mark after all the work I have put into building my tour, especially when most other people give such glowing reviews.
Great tour!

The ghost tour was a perfect accompaniment to the cooky town of York, and Dorian brought the experience to life with a selection of creepy tales at some key locations. He is a natural storyteller who embodies the role perfectly and fuses the correct balance of horror and humour to bring the stories to life. The only thing that would have made the experience better was darkness, though as we visited in the height of summer, was not something that could have been delivered. Will make sure to schedule the next visit at Halloween and would like to see Dorian again.
Excellent and hilarious event

This is a 'not to be missed' ghost tour. Full of interesting local ghost stories and facts. The walk around the town is not at all strenuous and the material is suitable for all ages. Lots of laugh out loud moments from this fabulous story teller. If you only book one thing on your trip to York make it The Deathly Dark Ghost Tour of York.

The ghost stories were intriguing and Dorian was also very funny and eccentric. A great experience and entertaining evening, already recommended this tour to some friends who are going to York in two weeks time.

A Wonderful Tour

Amazing tour, full of energy and fantastic stories. Dorian was a wonderful host and I'm not just saying that because I happen to look like him. There was an autistic young boy on the tour and Dorian was patient, kind and understanding a clear pro! Could not recommended any higher!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
