Informative, historic fun!
A fantastic evening with the black widow walking the streets of Scarborough; my partner and I love ghost/history tours, and this one was excellent! The black widow had a wealth
of factual historical knowledge and research. We would highly recommend this tour

Enjoyable walk with spooky tales
Great entertainment the black widow managed to give us an insight to macabre with
passion and humour. Fantastic local knowledge and left us with some great places to visit
the following day. Would really recommend this trip
Folklore and ghosts of Scarborough
She is a wonderful storyteller and has vast local knowledge.
A very entertaining evening.
The tour was wheelchair friendly and she set a gentle pace as one of our group has to use a stick. Short stops for each story, and some interesting locations.

A Grim History with Great Charm
We had a great evening learning of the dark side of Scarborough's history, of grim death and subsequent hauntings, of nefarious pirates and their gruesome crimes - all told with great charm, warmth and laughter! Our Black Widow set a gentle pace through the town with a group of ten strangers and the occasional passer-by, to places that probably would not catch one's eye unless pointed out. All I can say is if you, dear reader, find yourself in Scarborough, please book yourself a little piece of history and prepare to be entertained!
Great Tour!
Excellent guide who really knows her stuff, learnt a lot about the dark side of Scarborough
and the town itself. Delivered in a fun, theatrical way and dressed the part too. Would highly
recommend.

History and Ghost Tour
This ghost tour was a brilliant mix of history, humour, and eerie storytelling. The guide brought the town’s past to life with vivid tales of smugglers, shipwrecks, and local legends, all delivered with just the right amount of spooky charm. a great way to see Scarborough from a completely different angle.
