    Great fun

    Very informative and funny, really enjoyed it. Only thing I would have liked a few more scary stories but apart from that, perfect. She had an amazing memory and knew all our names within a large group, very impressive.

    Great way to spend a chilly night in York

    Lady Peckett was amazing tonight! We had never booked anything like this before but it was better than we could have expected! She was funny, engaging and controlled the crowd perfectly. Educational, funny and spooky it was the perfect way to spend an Autumnal Evening! Much love to Lady P from the couple that gave you a tissue for your drippy nose 😘

    Alice was absolutely amazing! She was so knowledgeable, engaging and made an effort to speak to each member of the group in the tour. She was funny, and warm and made my first experience of a ghost tour a delight. Highly recommend!

    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 $20 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 95 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3,316 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?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Mad Alice’s The Bloody Tour of York -Best Tour Award Europe?

    +

    Around 1,161 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 Deathly Dark Tour of York, Shadows of York: Ghost Walk and Horrible History., 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.

    What is included in Mad Alice’s The Bloody Tour of York -Best Tour Award Europe?

    +

    Included: Guided Walking Tour. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Mad Alice’s The Bloody Tour of York -Best Tour Award Europe?
