Weird and Wonderful Whitby tour reviews

Absolutely fantastic tour with Madame Peculiar. Have done several of the Ghost tours and fancied something different. Had a great time.

For a 945-year old, Madame Peculiar is on tip-top form! She’s also a smidge cheeky! I LOVED this tour! It was inclusive, interesting and full of lots of unusual juicy tidbits. Do not get it twisted, this is NOT a ghost tour. It is a proper living breathing history / peculiarity tour! I was so taken with the stories - are they true? Did it happen? Ask Madame P to find out!
— Lip Venom
Lovely way to spend an hour or so, would recommend this to families too!

What an excellent way to spend an hour! Being seasoned visitors to Whitby, we were sceptical that we would discover much. How wrong we were. Highly recommended.

We found the storytelling engaging, humorous and insightful. We have fallen in love with Whitby and your tour was definitely part of that attraction.
