It was raining and very cold, so we were feeling quite sorry for ourselves as we started. However the enthusiasm of the guides really lifted our spirits. It was a really interesting and engaging tour, which 3 generations of our family enjoyed together. We would definitely recommend Tales from the Necropolis to others.

Had a great experience, really fascinating tales told in a very entertaining way. Would highly recommend. It's not scary for those who don't like these things, so don't let that deter you.

What a fun and unique experience! The guides were enthusiastic and great storytellers- we learned so much about local folklore and enjoyed seeing a lesser-known area of Liverpool!

This was hands down the BEST ghost tour I have done in the UK! St. James Cemetery has so much to offer supernatural enthusiasts: history, ancient ruins, vampires, ghosts, and more! What better way to see it than after dark with two highly engaging, highly knowledgable, passionate and sincere guides. Cannot recommend enough. Definitely a must-do experience in Liverpool!

This was my favorite tour on our entire trip. St James is simply fantastic as a location and is the creepiest cemetery I have ever visited. It’s beautiful too. The drenching rain did not stop them and added to the experience. We had Ms Lewellyn & I don’t remember the other storytellers name. Highly recommend this experience for anyone. I recommend you go at night.

The stories were brought to life in a fun and interesting way. It was fascinating to learn history you wouldn't necessarily get from a book in an engaging, immersive and interactive way.
