Ghosts in a beautiful city! - Absolutely loved this tour, guide was brilliantly entertaining and knew all the ghosts stories. I would 100% recommend, just made the short break in Gloucester perfect. Am I still a skeptic…. I might ask the monk! 👻🌛⭐️

Best ghost tour I've done. - I've done a lot of ghost tours in the major cities of Great Britain and this is hands down the best one I've done. I hold my hands up that I'm a skeptic but I felt thoroughly spooked by the tour! I loved the way the guide blended very interesting historical background of the city with the ghostly tales- I learnt a lot. It was also embellished with photos of the insides of buildings she was describing or images of how they looked in the past which really brought the stories to life. The guide was engaging, fun and respectful and has experience of hands on paranormal investigations which gave her more authority to describe the ghostly goings on, than other guides I've had in other cities. We were met part way through by a friend or colleague of her (not sure which ... or maybe he was a ghost!) Who took up some of the tale telling. They made an amusing double act! It was a long tour at 2.5 hours but it felt about right in terms of the stories we heard and the sites we visited. Would recommend!

Mix of history and paranormal - Meeting location was easy to find. We were a very small group of 3 plus the guide so our experience was extremely conversational and casual. Our walk around Gloucester was slow and the guide pointed out details of buildings with significant histories and shared her own paranormal experiences gained through personal investigation. Tour was augmented with pictures and diagrams on an iPad which worked fine for a small group. She also shared videos and recordings of paranormal nature at relevant sites. Our tour concluded with a trip down a dark and narrow alleyway dating to Roman times and then into a pub cellar which was super creepy and the highlight of the tour for me. Only way it could be even better is entry to enter more sites, but I am sure access to some of these sites (e.g. 800 year old churches) is understandably restricted.

Really good enjoyable walk - You should do this if you visit Gloucester - Really enjoyed this tour - probably one of the best and most interesting ghost walks that I have done. The guide (apologies I forgot your name) was very knowledgeable of the general subject of the super natural and the places (and their history) we visited. I particularly enjoyed going into the New Inn and looking around the place (I won't say too much as don't want to give details away but for me that made the walk for me ). I would definitely recommend doing this walk if you visit Gloucester.

Uniquely fun evening in Gloucester - My mom, husband, and I really enjoyed this walk around Gloucester and the ghostly tales that came with. We were fortunate with a small group, but the guide was very friendly and made the experience feel personal.

One of the best ghost tours I have been on - I've lived in Gloucester for a while and there was lots of info I didn't know. The best thing was the personal ghost hunting experiences of the guide and walking one by one down the medieval alleyway. I highly recommend this experience and want to say thank you to the guide for being funny, friendly and professional throughout the whole experience.

Very fun evening ghost spotting! 👻 - Brilliant tour!! Very informative with stories of the buildings and who haunts them as well as the history of Gloucester, Our tour guide was fantastic and made the evening very fun and interactive, very friendly and who doesn’t like a pop quiz!😀 This was for my wife’s birthday so we had a small group, and this was well worth the surprise. Great value for money and would recommend.

Manage your expectations. - The historical parts of the tour accompanied by photographs were very interesting but I was not drawn in by the Guide's storytelling. It lacked substance and credibility. The decision to run a tour into the late evening (11.10 finish) was questionable as the city centre at that time of night is not a pleasant place to be and I felt nervous. The decision to take the tour to a secluded corner of the Cathedral grounds where a homeless person was just bedding down was insensitive and that part should have been missed out. The visit to the shop was very interesting and the shop owner was very engaging. The Guides energy and enthusiasm for the subject could not be faulted. It was an interesting experience overall but don't expect to be converted if you are a non believer!

Not the bet - It was ok, but not the best I have been on. It went on far too long, we left after 2 1/2 hours and it still wasn't finished! There was no giggles.
