It was so fun! Hearing about some of the tragedies in London history was fascinating. Walking past, and to, some very significant London landmarks was pretty cool because we also learned brief histories of those landmarks too. George was our tour guide, and when he learned that his entire group was American, he gave us history facts about famous Americans that were tied to London as well. So cool!!

George is an excellent storyteller and we found the tour both engaging and informative. We also appreciated the availability for questions in between stops and guidance on where to find a restroom!

Kristina_M, Jun 2026
George was a fantastic tour guide. He was enthusiastic, entertaining, and very knowledgeable about local stories of ghost sightings. I hate a great time! If I had to complain about anything, it would be the time of day in relationship to the sun. I’d love to do this tour again when the sun goes down.

Ghosts, Legends and Laughs – A Brilliant Tour

We had a fantastic evening on the ghost walking tour covering the Tower of London, Monument, and St Paul’s area. George was friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about London’s fascinating history. He brought the stories to life with a perfect mix of historical detail, local legends, and humour, keeping the group entertained throughout the walk. The route was well planned, and it was fascinating to see some of London’s most iconic landmarks from a completely different perspective after dark.

Wonderful guide!!

A nice way to spend an evening sight seeing, and learn a bit about historic London. George, our guide performed well, and was entertaining, though the ghost stories weren’t all that interesting!

Mark_B, Jan 2026
Great way to spend a cold evening in January. George was spot on informative and funny. Im a x Londoner so familiar territory but the stories were unknown to me. Ripper tour on the do list.

Brilliant London Ghost Tour

Michael_H, Dec 2025
George was amazing — incredibly knowledgeable and very factual, with loads of interesting information throughout the tour. As a local, he clearly knows the area inside out, which really added to the experience. The tour never felt rushed; George took his time, answered every question people had, and made sure everyone was engaged. It was well paced, informative, and genuinely fascinating from start to finish. A great experience overall and excellent value for money — a solid two hours that flew by. Highly recommend.

Amazing tour!

Lots of walking, but worth every minute. If you do this walk in autumn winter, make sure you're wearing warm clothes. Our guide was superb, so entertaining, made us laugh and the stories were really interesting. This is a great experience for both visitors and people who live in London. Definitely recommend! And a very heartfelt thank you to our guide George who made it a wonderful experience.
