Ghost Tour - It was a very cold and windy night when we did the tour, but Ash’s knowledge and humor kept us going. It was a very interesting tour and Ash clearly knows his stuff. The stop at the Saracen’s Head was most welcome part way through, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Good humoured tour. - It was a very interesting tour of Amersham. I personally am very dubious about ghosts etc, but the tour was fun and interesting, and Ash was very personable. I went with someone from the local area and she said that she didn't know many of the things mentioned on the tour. It was a very cold night, but nevertheless was enjoyable and would recommend to others.

Ghotless ghost tour - Disappointingly few ghosts. I mean you could choose any town and tell some tall stories. Not very convincing but then ghosts don’t actually exist, right?
