Annie was our tour guide and she did a fantastic job. There were only a handful of us so it was quite intimate and Annie was really knowledgeable and described all the stories in lots of detail

Lovely tour, lots of good stories. Megan was very friendly as well as knowledgeable - weather was dreadful - lots of rain - but Megan found places to shelter whilst telling her stories so all was well!

We really enjoyed the Cambridge Ghost tour! Walking in the rain made it even more spooky! The whole group had a great time. And our guide Shelby was terrific!!

This tour, hosted by Fransesco, was a great way to spend the afternoon of Halloween before we went for dinner. Francesco brought Cambridge, and particularly certain colleges of the university, during the Middle Ages to life with creepy tales of ghosts and tragedies. Highly recommended for adults and older children.

Great tour from Lindsay! Well worth booking, was a great way to learn some of the history of the city and go to some places you might otherwise miss

Myself and family visiting central Cambridge for first time. Booked a walking 'ghost tour' Met by our guide 'MG' who showed us around some of the area's which have stories associated with 'spooky' events in the history of the city. The tour was fun and informative. 'Spooks' aside, 'MG' provided some interesting history surrounding the long standing reputation of world famous colleges. The cobbled streets and architecture are truly something to behold when up close and personal. Some wonderful old churchyards hidden 'off street' which added to the general ambience of the tour. Recommended

Francesco was a great tour guide. Took us on a great walking tour, telling us all the spooky stories. It was great to go in the Eagle Pub and learn it's history.

Francesco our Venetian guide was excellent, he asked the group questions and kept us involved. The unfortunate people in his stories were respected as once real living people, and we learnt a lot of interesting things about Cambridge. Thank you!
CAROLINE_M, May 2023
Francesco was an lively and fantastic storyteller with the backdrop of such a historical setting. I lucked out and got a personal tour. My favorite part was going going through the RAF bar and seeing a story demonstrated through historical pictures .Not as “creepy” as i had hoped for, but still great entertainment and the hour passed by quickly.
