Why this scores 96
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mad Alice’s The Bloody Tour of York -Best Tour Award Europe: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for York.
How much does Mad Alice’s The Bloody Tour of York -Best Tour Award Europe cost?
+
Prices start at $8 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mad Alice’s The Bloody Tour of York -Best Tour Award Europe take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in York is not rushed.
Is Mad Alice’s The Bloody Tour of York -Best Tour Award Europe worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 96 out of 100, which we label "Peak Performance". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3,195 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mad Alice’s The Bloody Tour of York -Best Tour Award Europe?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Mad Alice’s The Bloody Tour of York -Best Tour Award Europe suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Mad Alice’s The Bloody Tour of York -Best Tour Award Europe?
+
Around 1,118 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in York and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mad Alice’s The Bloody Tour of York -Best Tour Award Europe start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in York?
+
On Outty we rank every York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best of York on Foot in a Small Group, The Deathly Dark Tour of York, Wizard Walk of York - WINNER Best Tour & Experience of the Year. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit York?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in York?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
