Thoroughly entertaining evening - Wasn’t sure what to expect but we had a great time. Our guide was brilliant and kept us amused with his stories whilst exploring the streets of Warwick in the dark. Highly recommend.

Fab experience - you should go! - Absolutely fantastic, thoroughly recommend this tour. I went with a group of new friends, having moved to Warwick recently, and it was a brilliant ice breaker. Warrane was an excellent story teller - really engaging, entertaining, and knowledgeable. Happy to chat and answer questions, but also happy to hang back. The walk wasn't too far and he goes at quite a slow pace - I managed just fine despite knee surgery four months ago, and there are lots of seats en route. Gi, have fun, and learn more about this beautiful (spooky) little town.

Great experience - I've lived in the area for years but found the evening walk very entertaining and informative. Wandering around the town centre in the dark on a quiet evening was very atmospheric. Excellent guide. Well worth the money.

Beware of Warwick’s Dark History - Our tour guide was entertaining and informative. I enjoyed learning about the dark history of Warwick, and even on a cold November evening, my soul was burning with knowledge and excitement. I would definitely recommend this experience. The tour lasted 2 hours and there was a fee to pay. However it was reasonable price. On our tour we were a group of 12 which was a good size. This tour is not for youngsters under 16. The stories contained gruesome content and horror.

Amazing Halloween walk - We attended the 6pm tour on Halloween night and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The tour leader was very professional and knowledgable. He was very engaging to listen to and it was obvious he had put a lot of time and effort into his research. We would definitely recommend this tour to anybody wanting to know the history of Warwick. Thank you for a great time 😁👻
