Ghostly - Not a difficult walk. Very historical as well as ghostly! Learnt a lot from our entertaining host. Worth giving it a go.

Jimmy was great - We would like to begin by acknowledging Jimmy, whose delightful demeanor and extensive knowledge truly enhanced our tour experience beyond our expectations. His passion for the tour brought to life a wealth of history and stories about the city that one would simply not discover without participating in this excursion. We highly recommend this tour, and particularly Jimmy, for an exceptional evening out.

Really Enjoyable Activity. - Tobias Carver the Bristol butcher was a great walking guide. Stories were good, history was interesting. Interactive parts too. Allowed time at the end for photo opportunities. Would recommend. Even enjoyed by the teenager.

Great experience, even for locals! - Jimmy took us on a very personal tour as it was just him and the two of us! Needless to say he was very entertaining, informative and made the whole experience really fun. We’re both born and bred in Bristol and we learned a lot about our city that we didn’t know before, and we’ll be keeping an eye out for those ghosties going forward!

A great way to see this beautiful City - A brilliant family friendly ghost tour. Our guide, Mrs Needles, was fantastic! She kept the whole group engaged and my teens, who were less than enthusiastic prior to arrival, thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It was a great way to be introduced to Bristol, so informative and interesting. We loved it!

Lovely guide, poor experience due to drunk guests not asked to leave - The tour itself was a fun experience and the guide, John, was lovely. However, on the tour two different groups were drinking straight from wine bottles and weren't asked to stop or leave despite alcohol being banned. One of the couples went on to get drunk, giggle constantly, talk or whispher loudly all the time, vape, smoke and smoke weed in the crowd by young children and just attempt to show off before ending the tour making out with each other constantly. Whilst the guide might not have noticed the extent of the disruptions they must have seen or heard the wine bottles. I tried to resolve this privately outside of a review as these things happen but I'm so disappointed that a refund wasn't offered to me that I'm now leaving this review. I'm a low income mum and my and my daughter came from Manchester for the night specifically for the tour as a holiday for her. We paid the same as those who ruined it, and that's not right, they had a great time, I cried from frustration and couldn't enjoy it. My daughter and I are both autistic and the sensory overwhelm we had from smoke and unwanted talking (not to mention the stink of booze on them) was just so disappointing and distressing and I'd expect tour operators with large groups and income to refund me especially when I work as a guide myself in Manchester independently and I'd refund my guests even as a low income guide. I appreciate there might be times that confronting people might lead to an unsafe situation or the worry of a bad review from those guests but what's happened instead is they're prioritised them over the other nearly 40 guests. The individual guides I'm sure are all good, again ours was lovely, but as seems to be the way with larger tour operators they don't seem to value their customers experiences over profit. Drinking is not allowed on the tour, the drinkers should have been asked to leave. Tour wise - lots of good stories and locations. I'd have loved some more of the cool architecture to be woven into it too - the amazing grotesques we meet under were so creepy so make sure to look up whilst you're at the meeting point!
