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.

Just nice!

Edward_Y, Mar 2026
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!

Excellent Guide

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!

Alyssa_R, Dec 2025

Great Guide Great Stories

Dusty_K, Nov 2025
great guide great stories I had a lot of fun on this tour. George was a great guide and had some great stories. And there was a lot of information about the area between stops too. The history of the City of London. It was a small group and that lent itself well to conversations about the stories and the added history bits as well. I definitely recommend this tour.

Fun tour!

Krista_J, Nov 2025

Had a fabulous time with George on what turned out to be a private tour given the cold snap keeping others away! He was so knowledgable and could answer every question we had, and gave us some great stories apart from the tour as well. Would highly recommend!

Such an interesting and entertaining 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.

Tour guide super nice and informative!

Mooshroommadds56, Oct 2025
The tour guide was very informed and had a great personality making it super fun and enjoyable. The tour is a bit cold if you’re not used to walking in London during the night, so dress warm. I felt safe the whole time, and a bit tired since it’s a walking tour but it was fun nonetheless

A Must-Do Tour for History and Ghost Story Lovers

Tyler_M, Oct 2025
George was an excellent and entertaining tour guide with a wealth of knowledge about London’s darker history and the stories behind each stop. He kept the whole group engaged with humor and vivid storytelling. We really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in London’s eerie past or history in general.

Niall_H, Oct 2025
George was exceptional - as many others have said it’s a history tour of the London area with some ghost stories thrown in which is exactly what we wanted! Was something different and honestly his range of knowledge is excellent and it’s quite apparent he’s passionate about the area and its history! It’s only two hours so I’d recommend it to anyone looking a few hours to kill in the evening whilst getting out and about!

Fun Ghost Tour

Danielle_F, Oct 2025
We had a wonderful time walking around London and learning about the history and the ghost stories. George was incredibly knowledgeable, seriously, he knows SO much about the history of London. He also went out of his way to guide us to the closest underground so we could get back to our Airbnb.

Phenomenal

Very Entertaining!

George was an amazing storyteller and historian. Happy to share all of his knowledge on anything and everything London.

Haunted Old London History

Chuong_T, Oct 2025
George did a fantastic job explaining all the haunted places in Central London. It’s not a scary ghost tour. This tour was interesting where George explained about haunted stories and cool haunted places in Central London. Great experience and exploration for history guru and a great way to learn about the history of old London.

Ghost Tour

Kelsey_W, Sep 2025
George was very knowledgeable with his London ghost stories. Not only that, but he had lots of information on all sorts of facts about London. I would highly recommend this tour to people who love to hear ghost stories but are also looking to know more about London. My husband and I came to London for our honeymoon and really appreciated all the extra information provided. Thank you !

A walk through the paranormal of London

Sarah_C, Sep 2025
Two things I love. History and the paranormal. This tour was the perfect combination of both. George’s telling of the stories really drew you into them. Feeling like you are back in that time period. George made a point of talking to each individual, recommending places to visit based on our conversations. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone that likes history or the paranormal

Great experience!

Ryan_G, Sep 2025
Amazing tour that I would recommend to anyone! George was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and his storytelling is captivating and entertaining. This tour was honestly the highlight of my trip. Thank you!

Lots of History, not too Many Ghost Stories

David_C, Sep 2025
Our guide was easy to talk with and answered all our questions and had a pretty solid grasp of London history. However, there were fewer ghost stories than we were expecting. Also, many of the places we visited did not feel like they had a ghostly feel them. As a history tour, it was good. As a ghost story tour, it was so so.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Hello, Thank you for the review, I’m sorry that you didn’t find it frightening enough but we do try to keep this experience family friendly. If you are looking for a more gruesome experience we do offer a Jack the Ripper tour. Your feedback is appreciated.
