Ghost, ghouls and everything in between! - We were led by the amazing Annie, whose expressive and articulate nature kept us captivated from start to finish. It was a very informative tour and we loved learning about all the creepy facts- and also the added facts (like Stephen Hawking’s house) which made for a very fulfilling evening. Would 100% recommend; especially in the winter as the dark atmosphere makes for a ghostly evening. Once again a big thank you to Annie! We were also joined by two very friendly students who were preparing to lead tours in the future.

Amazing storytelling! - Thank you David for an incredible ghost tour! The experience was absolutely fascinating from start to finish. The stories were not only spooky but also rich with history and brought the darker side of Cambridge to life in such an engaging way. David’s storytelling skills were exceptional, he kept us captivated and entertained throughout the evening. The combination of thrilling tales, humor, and the beautiful nighttime setting of Cambridge made it a truly unforgettable experience. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment and especially the story of the Eagle! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and exciting way to explore the city!

Interesting ghost tour - Despite the wind and rain, we all enjoyed the tour. Francesco our guide was friendly and informative (plus looking a bit like Bradley Cooper!). I think it was quite pricey for one hour but glad we did it.

Ghosts, plague and open windows. - 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.

Excellent Ghost walking tour - The ghost tour was extremely good. The host, Lindsay was excellent and thoroughly knowledgeable. She made it engaging and informative throughout and would highly recommend this to see parts of Cambridge that you wouldn’t normally see. Thank you
