THE REALLY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

 

WILL I SEE A GHOST?

Dorian has no control or dominion over the spirits that may or may not exist in the ancient city

of York. He is a storyteller, a history enthusiast and has a passion for sharing this wonderful old

place with the people that visit. Will you see a ghost? He makes no promises, but he will tell you

where to look...

 

WHEN DO THE PUBS CLOSE?

An excellent question, with various answers. Dorian suggests 1331 York for pre tour drinks and food.

The tour ends at Clifford's Tower and there are numerous pubs, bars and restaurants nearby.

Ask Dorian, he can send you off in the right direction.
