It was a very real experience, with humour and history . Not suitable for people of a nervous disposition , take note of the company guidelines. The guide was very entertaining and safety was taken into account. A really good authentic historical ghost tour

The whole tour was done very well it was very informative, interesting incorporating humor and was at times interactive.

its a bit of fun and education about the history of the goings on in Stratford over the last few hundreds of years

Interesting way to spend an hour.

I found it interesting to hear the gruesome stories of an old Tudor house. Unfortunately we had a pair on the tour that were not engaged and they spoilt it somewhat. John was very patient and kept going.

Entertaining

Andrew_S, Feb 2026
We were looking for something to do before we went for a meal. This was easy to book, details arrived quickly and it was an easy to find venue. The guide was entertaining and very knowledgeable which made it good fun. It all takes place indoors, so weather isn't a problem either. An easy way to spend an hour and gain some information about the area we were visiting. I'd recommend doing this.

Enjoyable experience

Ann_M, Jan 2026
It was very dark and as such had only the narrative to rely on.. it would have been good to be able to see more inside the building as we walked around.

Ghost tour - Loved it!

Winnie's wicked wander

Gavin_J, Nov 2025
Really enjoyable experience, Winnifred was our tour guide and provided lots of information about historical episodes of a macabre nature. Only dropping out of charagter twice when things went bump in the night. Not for the faint hearted, my partner felt a chilly rush of air during one story, and soon after I kept getting shivers down my back (the only expression I could relate it to is when you say, someone's stood on my grave) , it wasn't cold and we were inside whilst all this occurred.........

Spooky tales and good fun

Wendy_A, Oct 2025
Fun evening of ghostly tales. Delivered well in a spooky atmosphere with gruesome history. We loved it and great for us as near Halloween so made it a fun half-term activity

So real history brought to you with good humour and knowledge from John. A definitely haunted house without any doubt do not miss the opportunity highly recommend John and Jade

Disappointing very...

Carol_H, Sep 2025
Disappointing very underwhelming , not scary, and too dark to see or read any details of interest in the hall

Awesome guide but lackluster experience

Juan_V, Sep 2025
Guide was awesome but was expecting a bit more from the tour into the paranormal side but that wasn’t what the tour stated so it’s on me. It was a bit rushed as it ended in 40 mins and not the 1 hour it promised.

A wonderfully eccentric treat

Patrick_O, May 2025
Great fun, brilliant guides. Winifred led our group and she was amazing. Stayed in character throughout while managing to engage everyone. The perfect balance of somber, weird and irreverance. With her ghostly voice she should be doing audiobooks of Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley.

Don't be silly and miss this

marcus_b, Apr 2025
We do alot of ghost walks....this was awesome and original. We run Breaks with the Bishops tik tok so we travel and take part in events. Inside a darkened museum was brilliant. The character was excellent and we went back to see the next day was great.
