Great storytelling - Great 90 mins of fun with our guide Peter, we were a group of 20 scouts who all thoroughly enjoyed the walk around the historic centre, stoping off at various locations for Peter’s storytelling of spooky supernatural goings-on!

Great way to start an evening - Very enjoyable tour from James. I was a bit worried because it was a large group but he’s got a great booming voice and so all was Heard loud a clear.

Great spooky tour - The tour guide Peter was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable about Cambridge and it's ghosts. The tour took almost 2 hours and we visited a lot of different places most of which were after the sun had set, which added to the atmosphere of the tour. I would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cambridge.

Interesting and entertaining - Really interesting tour, lots of cool fun stories (just the right amount of creepy) and the tour took us to parts of Cambridge we hadn't found ourselves. Alex was a great tour guide, answered questions, made sure everyone could hear and see. Highly recommend the tour!

Family-friendly “ghost” tour of Cambridge. - Fun and informative tour about Cambridge’s history, with a ghost/death theme, taking about famous people who lived (and died) in Cambridge, and Cambridge’s most famous ghosts. I learned a lot of interesting facts about the city’s history. Family-friendly.
