Had a lovely learning about Bristol history and wandering around the City. Jimmy was very informative and good fun. We took a 10 and 14 year old with us and they enjoyed it as much as the adults. Thank you Jimmy.

Nice introduction to the city of Bristol

Thierry_P, Nov 2025
Our guide was a good and friendly actor. We learnt about interesting historical events and places to visit.

Enjoyable tour by Jimmy

Deborah_B, Oct 2025
Went on the tour 3rd of October, guided by Jimmy who was informative and fun. Really enjoyed the tour even with storm Amy blowing a hoolie

Don’t expect to much.

Zena_M, Aug 2025
Jimmy had lots of information but he appeared rather nervous and the Ghost side of the walk was a bit light on detail. Jimmy needs to be a little bit believable. He obviously doesn’t believe that spirits are possible because of the way the talk was given. It may be he’s just rather young. It was also daylight which didn’t give it atmosphere.

Hello there and thank you for your review. Sorry to hear that the tour wasn't exactly for you, although obviously the light does make a big difference to the experience. Kind regards Dr Lynch Bath and Bristol Ghost Tours

We enjoyed your guided walk hearing about different ghost sightings in central bristol. Our guide made it fun and interesting and we would recommend highly to anyone

Hello Christine and thank you so much for your review. Kind regards Dr Lynch

Fantastic walk on the other side of life!

Jamie_L, Jul 2025
We both felt as a first ghost walk, it was fantastic, to begin the Guide Tobias Carver was excellent not only was he incredibly factual about the sites and signings but used charming wit and comedy to really get you to listen to all the bloody details. We also found his passion for the topic really infectious as he was more than willing to answer any question in detail and listen to stories and folklore from other regions. I was a bit hesitant when I read there was crowd participation on this walk, however the Guide was really endearing and charming so that none of the interactions which included crowd participation were awkward, on top of that the Guide was fantastic and gave plenty of chances for photo opportunities as well as opportunities to try and catch ghosts on your camera Whilst all the gruesome gore and bloody deeds were fantastic, but the walk's sites and walk were fantastic and I probably would have missed out on a lot of these Streets and Locations if not for the tour. We have been supernatural, paranormal and folklore fans for a while and would recommend the walk to any other people who are fans like us and visiting Bristol.

Amazing ghost tour with Ms. Needles

Julia_R, Jul 2025
Ms. Needles was a great tour guide! The tour was funny and quite informative at the same time. Great way to see Bristol!

Fun and informative.

Amanda_J, Apr 2025
A really informative, witty and concise history lesson of some of the oldest buildings in Central Bristol. The ghoulish element made it exciting and intriguing. The guide was knowledgeable and very friendly, making everyone feel at ease. For me, it was a great chance to take notice of some old and beautiful buildings that would be walked past without a second thought, and it made it easy to envisage the Bristol of yore.

A wandering around Bristol

Vasileios_T, Apr 2025
A brilliant mix of eerie history and laugh-out-loud storytelling. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and charismatic, bringing haunted sites and creepy tales to life with a touch of stand-up comedy. I had such a great time – spooky, fascinating, and surprisingly funny! Highly recommended if you're into the paranormal or just want to see a different (and darker!) side of Bristol.

Highly recommend

Suzanne_H, Mar 2025

Fun ghost trip in the centre of Bristol

Timothy_H, Jul 2024
Very good tour guide, good mix of info and humour. Don't go Friday as Bristol gets very busy which can lessen the atmosphere

Trop long et répétitif

catherinewanda_b, Aug 2023
Perso, j'ai fait le même type de sortie à Québec et la différence est énorme. L'hôtesse tente tant bien que mal de jouer sur la peur mais c'est raté. Toujours les mêmes histoires racontées à différents endroits, peste, enfants, moines, bruits de pas, de cris etc. Quelques bonnes infos sur l'histoire de la ville mais trop long, interminable même...elle nous a tous perdus nous et les 4 espagnols.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Hello there. Unfortunately I can't be too sure of what your review is saying, as my French is not good at all . But I'm sorry if you thought the tour was too long or too repetitive. There are a lit if haunted pubs on the tour it is true and churches etc, but of course that isn't too surprising as such buildings are often the oldest in any city and have the most stories attached. Kind regards Dr Lynch Bristol Ghost Tours
