Summary: Ghoulishly good fun Having lived in Otley for nearly 20 years I was pretty sure I knew it all How wrong I was...... We learnt things on this tour that will haunt us both for as long as we live. In Otley. Prepare yourselves for a mega spooky, super sinister and truly eye opening (you'll know what I mean after the tour) experience

Summary: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We booked the 1-Hour group Otley Ghost Tour thinking it might be a bit too spooky for my 7-year-old… turns out the only scary part was how much we had a good crack. Our guide was brilliant – part historian, part good banter , and part ghost whisperer (though the ghosts mostly kept their distance). She somehow managed to keep the adults entertained with eerie tales while making sure our daughter didn’t have nightmares. The tour was perfectly paced, full of fun facts about Otley’s cobbled streets and a few spine-tingling stories that made us all walk just a little closer together. My daughter is now convinced she saw a ghostly cat – or maybe it was just a passing shadow… either way, it made her night! Highly recommend for families – spooky enough for grown-ups, but child-friendly with no jump-scares or gory bits. Plus, it’s a great excuse to explore the town at night. Would absolutely do it again – next time we’ll bring extra beers for the ghosts. 👻🍪
