A WALK LIKE NO OTHER.

The Polite Tourist offers true crime walks through Victorian history. Through York, Scarboro', and beyond.

As dusk beckons, and as The Polite Tourist peels back the long shadows which lurk just out of view – find yourself spirited back to the cruel streets and darkened passageways of a Victorian world and to a place where death was ever present.

And as you walk along the old, unquiet streets and through the dark and crooked labyrinths to a Victorian yesteryear of death and despair, crime, disorder, murder and mayhem – the long forgotten tales of those folk who once lay claim to these streets will be revealed.

Innovative, meticulously researched and with inspiration drawn by true crime stories from the long Victorian era – our walks are designed to offer an informative and unique experience with a professional and spirited storyteller.

Our coterie of storytellers includes the Lady Brigante – a sleuth of infamy, wanderer of unquiet graveyards and the bête noire of the long forgotten dead.
