You can expect a shared group experience with other enthusiasts eager to uncover the city's haunted past. The pace is generally brisk but engaging, allowing for plenty of questions and discussion.
The cost reflects the length of the tour and the level of detail explored; the shorter, self-guided tours like “York’s Haunted Pubs: A Self-Guided Walking Tour” (currently rated 5.0/5 with two reviews at £9) are a fantastic introduction to the city's ghostly legends.
