Our Butcher was excellent - creepy, amusing and informative! She kept us all fully engaged with her tales of creepiness and added lovely little details which also made us laugh out loud at times! We would thoroughly recommend the Skipton Ghost Walking Tour, as it was the perfect way to really get under the skin of the town and find out what makes it tick!

I came all the way from Holland to experience the ghost tour in Skipton and enjoyed it immensely! The butcher spoke with great humor and was good in her role. My compliments to her! She also involved everyone which is not easy with a group of 19 people. I recommend this ghost tour to anyone who wants to learn more about Skipton in a special way.
