NAMED CONTRIBUTORS

Editorial team

Six writers, six beats. They write the words around the rankings. The formula sets the order, and every price and time on their pages says where it came from.

Night tours change all the time. A cemetery stops letting groups in after dark. An official evening opening ends for the year. A from-price moves with the season. So every page carries the date its facts were checked and links to the page it checked them on.

The writers don't pick the order of any list. One program scores all 340 tours on four fixed factors and every list is sorted from those scores; the method page shows the weights. What a writer owns is the paragraph on each ranked tour, the advice around it (the free walk, the last train home, when to go) and the verdict on whether a night tour in that city is worth an evening at all. Sometimes the verdict is no.
