So fun and interactive! I am so glad we did this. My 14 and 12yo claim it was their favorite thing they did on the trip.

This tour was great. The acting was superb and I learned a few things during the tour. We loved it! I would recommend to anyone visiting York to go on this tour.

Fantastic experience. Very well done. Me and my family which included 2 grandchildren enjoyed every minute of it
Sally_H, Aug 2025
Absolutely amazing! I loved the interactive format, the actors were brilliant - some too realistic …
My 9 year old grandson loved it too although some parts were a little too scary for him. I had to keep reminding him it was pretend which shows just how good it was! My favourite part was when he was chosen for ‘execution’ - apparently grandma isn’t supposed to shout ‘execute him’ with such enthusiasm.
Would 100% recommend this. I did balk at the cost at first but it was worth every penny.
Only one negative but not enough to downgrade - as someone with a disability, the unevenness of the floor together with the dark made me a little hesitant but still not enough to downgrade the experience. Oh and if you are disabled and need the toilet, find somewhere else to go beforehand as they are situated out of the building, up some steps and down some stairs!
Take your kids, frighten them half to death and then laugh about it all afterwards!

Fun time , great actors and interactions with the audience. Lots of fun plus jumps and scares. Well decorated and themed to local events. Fun even if you've visited one of the other locations.

This was an amazing tour. I didn’t know what to expect and it was fun, really interesting and a little bit of scary.

Visiting the York Dungeon is a thrilling and immersive dive into the city’s dark past, blending education with spine-tingling entertainment. Each area of the dungeon walks you through a different grim chapter of history, from the Viking invasions to the infamous Guy Fawkes plot, all delivered with a chillingly humorous twist.
The actors are exceptional—committed, engaging, and often hilarious—bringing historical characters to life with vivid storytelling and interactive performances. Expect plenty of well-timed jump scares and atmospheric effects that keep your heart racing without being over-the-top.
Despite the fear factor, the experience is impressively informative. You’ll leave having learned real facts about York’s murky past, all while laughing and screaming your way through the shadows. A must-visit for history lovers and thrill-seekers alike.

Great way to spend a fun hour. Laughed all the way through. Actors do a great job. Audience participation was funny. They take photos at the beginning that are definitely not overpriced like some places.
