Deathly dark tour full of humour
Bethan_M, Aug 2022
Instructions for the meeting point were very clear and we received a very warm welcome.
The walking tour was full of exciting stories full of the history of York. Dorian was incredibly funny and engaged with everyone who was on the walk with us. It was well worth the money and if we return we’d love to do it again!
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Hi Bethan, I'm glad to know that you managed to find the start point with ease as that's definitely the first impression we want to make. It's great to hear back from people who have enjoyed the experience and I very much appreciate the recommendation, thank you!

The ghost stories, very entertaining host. It was interesting to find all the hidden gennels and alleyways
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Hi Yvonne, I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour and were entertained by my stories of woe. There are so many hidden Snickelways in York, I wish we could visit them all! If you have any feedback on what would have made this a 5-star experience for you, please do drop an email to dede@deathlydarktours.com

Thrilling and amusing stories. Excellent way to explore York in the evening. You get to know York in a different way.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
It's great to hear that you were both thrilled and amused, thank you! One of our aims is to show people another side of the beautiful, welcoming York and reveal the dark underbelly, so it sounds like we're doing our job!
Gostly happenings
Gillian_A, Jul 2022
Fun, quirky, intelligently told stories. Well worth every penny and would do again. Dorian Deathly made the whole walk the best final night in York. Would love to do an adult only spooky pub tour with him.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Thanks so much Gillian, it's great to hear that the tour really made your last night in York and who knows, we may very well be planning a late night, adults only tour soon!
Dorian brought the ghost to life!
Carrie_T, Jul 2022
I did a ghost tour when I came here with my family back in 1989 as a child. I wanted to repeat the experience and this was perfect. Have to give it to Dorian, he was an amazing, witty, engaging storyteller. He made the whole tour
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Hi Carrie, this is great to hear. We love that ghost tours are now becoming a tradition for people visiting York and I'm so glad you chose The Deathly Dark Tours to relive your childhood memory! Safe travels.
Great entertaining tour

Thanks Tony, that's very kind of you. I like to use my theatrical training to take the stories a little bit further and I'm very glad you enjoyed the experience.
Amazing
