Solid 5-star experience. - Thought the tour was absolutely wonderful. The historical context was genuinely fascinating, especially the bits about how paganism shifted into Christianity - it really got me thinking. The ghost stories were great too. If I’m being picky, the only thing it could possibly improve on is a stop in one of the pubs… but honestly, still a solid 5-star experience.

Frome's past brought to life - I absolutely loved this ghostly tour! It was such a fascinating mix of spooky tales and real history, and I came away having learned so many amazing facts about Frome's past that I’d never heard before. The storytelling was engaging, atmospheric, and fun without ever feeling over the top. It gave me a whole new perspective on familiar places, and I’d recommend it to anyone who loves history, ghost stories, or just wants a unique evening experience in Somerset. A brilliant night out!!

Just ‘boo’ it - I really enjoyed the tour. It was great to hear about the ghostly history of Frome. Our guide, the good Reverend, was a great story teller and he was really great with our group.

Fantastic Frome Tour - What a treat that was! We went on a private Ghostly Frome tour - with Reverend Glanvill. The knowledgeable Reverend covered a lot in 90 minutes - we didn't want it to end:) He shared some fascinating stories about Frome’s spooky past. We loved his delivery and the fact that the tour took place in the evening added to the eerie atmosphere. I can wholeheartedly recommend the tour and Somerset Experiences.

Highly recommended. Kept everyone captivated with ghostly stories! - We went on the tour last night and really enjoyed it. It's the first tour I have been on where the host was in character but also had everyone captivated the whole time so people in the group weren't talking amongst themselves whilst the host was talking. He was very considerate of not only everyone's safety but also making sure we weren't in the way of the public. I would highly recommend the tour but it wouldn't be suitable for people with mobility issues as lots of hills and cobbles. i was surprised not to finish back where we started like we have always done on other ghost walks so had to check with others on the walk as to how to get back to the car as not from the area.

A fun spooky evening walk round old Frome - We enjoyed our ghostly walk round Frome. We explored 'hidden' parts of old Frome and got a good feel for 'olden times' and some of the dastardly deeds carried out and their spooky consequences. I may have missed - or the good Reverend may not have actually mentioned - the fact that our guide was in-character as a deceased vicar! That did explain some minor confusion we had! A fun evening, all in all.
