Among certified myths and facts, a good taste in the mouth - Always with the intention of knowing urban legends I could not overlook this place to do this ghost tour and its excellent exhibitor Anny left us a pleasant experience with her knowledge. I recognize the work and formality of the company, is not always the case elsewhere.

Great Tour - very interesting information - Giri our guide was amazing! Made the tour entertaining, interesting and engaging. We did the tour as a Team Social and we really enjoyed it. A nice walk around Cambrige Colleges and a Cemetery which I think would be really spooky at night. Giri made the tour - really lovely and pleasant to speak to, turned up on time (absolute bonus) ... I would highly recommend!

Ghostly Goings on! - Fantastic tour with Francesco, he brought to life the ghostly goings on of Cambridge past and present with aplomb despite the rain! Listen to tales tales of Oliver Cromwells missing head, the poor suffering ‘Witches’ in market square and why you must never close the window at the Eagle Pub. All this and more delivered with enough of a spooky edge and a little humour to boot. A perfect hour with a Cambridge Alumni sharing the macabre side of various colleges. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it.
