Review of York’s Ghost Bus Tour, with spooky stories, historic sights, practical tips, price advice, and an honest look at its drawbacks.
“I expected the tour to be stories of the paranormal etc but most of it was done as a joke. I couldn't tell if the places and events were real or not. We got off the bus at one point, this was dangerous as we had to follow the guide over a busy road at night. There was no attempt at safety to ensure everyone was back on the bus. Not in the least scarey, too much emphasis on jokes.”
