Great Ghoulish Ghost Tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Great ghoulish ghost tour, just the right amount of scary and hilarious, the 'Butcher' is great with plenty of local history on our walk around.

A Skipton must!

Published on Feb, 2025

Amazing tour! A must for any visit to Skipton. The experience was so incredible, atmospheric, fun and exactly what the town of Skipton needed. The guide was a great blend of scary and hilarious, and despite being a tad ghoulish, made sure to take care of everyone throughout the tour. I had no idea Skipton had such an amazing and wide history. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Skipton!

Great guide!

Published on Feb, 2025

The tour was funny and very informative, but it was our fabulous guide, The Butcher, who truly made it! She was a great performer and made the group feel at ease (in a frightening sort of way). Highly recommend this tour to Skipton locals and visitors alike.
