Very Entertaining - Very entertaining and professional. Not just ghost stories but history too. The tour guide was very friendly and informative. She knows Otley really well. Liked the idea of a free drink in the pub at the end too.

Just what Otley needed! - Meeting at the ancient Buttercross in the Market Square our Host introduced herself, and after the initial spiel told me, by the end of the tour, I'd wet myself! (Turns out she was right, but not in the way I suspected she meant!) Visiting a number of familiar Otley haunts, we were regaled with not only curious spooky tales, but also interesting history tidbits of places I thought I knew well, being Otley born, but obviously not as well as I thought I did! Kudos to her detailed research! After exactly an hour our merry little band, now socially connected, found ourselves at the also haunted Black Horse, where we could enjoy a free drink thanks to Golden Tokens given to us by our fabulous phantom guide. A wonderful beginning to a lovely night in this little town of Otley. Thoroughly recommended!

Ghosts and spooky stories in Otley - A lovely tour with my 13 year old, great storytelling and a lovely walk around the town. Who knew there were so many ghosts in Otley, if you're lucky you might even catch a glimpse of one. Very spooktacular evening, thank you.
