All Yorkshire Tours & Excursions in 2026 - page 9

As a visitor from Texas with a lifelong love of British history, Mad Alice’s Bloody Tour was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to York. Mad Alice has the rare gift of making centuries of history come alive with incredible storytelling, quick wit, and just the right amount of delightfully bawdy humor. She had us laughing one minute and hanging on every word the next as we wandered through York’s ancient streets learning about Vikings, Romans, plague, executions, and all the wonderfully grim events that make York such a fascinating city. What impressed me most was how much genuine history was woven into the entertainment. This isn’t just a comedy act. it’s an interesting history lesson delivered by someone who clearly knows and loves the city. The irreverent jokes never overshadow the stories; they make them even more memorable. Mad Alice had the entire group involved, regardless of age or where they were from, and somehow made complete strangers feel like we were all in on the joke together. If you’re visiting York and only have time for one evening activity, make it this tour. Wear comfortable shoes, bring your sense of humor, and don’t be afraid if you blush a little. She talked about my “bits”! You’ll leave entertained, better informed, and with a deeper appreciation for one of England’s greatest historic cities. Five stars simply aren’t enough. Bloody brilliant!
