Great knowledge combined with excellent humor. Good experience! Did not bring my young son (5 y/o) which was probably a good call bc some of the descriptions and history of hangings may have been hard to handle… but for an adult or young teen this is a great 1.5hrs spent!

Mad Alice was mad in the best way - she brought to vivid life the history of York, in all it's bloody glory. She engaged with every single member of the tour, weaving them into her stories. Highly recommended!

What a fun tour! Learned so many interesting things about York and Mad Alice was amazing! The tour was very personalized. Don’t be dissuaded by the larger size, Mad Alice makes sure everyone is included and can hear.
