Cool introduction to Cambridge - We enjoyed our grisly ghostly tour of some of Cambridge’s colleges in spite of the downpour part way through! Alex looked after us and shared many creepy stories along the way.

Excellent ghost walking tour around the city centre of Cambridge. - Excellent walking tour with an emphasis on the various ghost stories that have emerged in Cambridge. Our tour guide, James, was very knowledgeable and showed great enthusiasm telling us these stories from different places around the City Centre. And there really are some very interesting and at times, pretty unbelievable stories. Not for the faint of heart, but this tour is an excellent experience.
