Fantastic ghost tour - Chuck was welcoming and engaging from the moment we met him at the Quay. The tour was very interesting and we loved going down dark and eerie passageways and alleyways to hear equally dark and eerie stories. Chuck told the tales with knowledge and humour, and captivated the audience at each location. The time passed too quickly and we could have listened to his stories for much longer. What a beautifully stunning city to listen to these tales.

Excellent evening in Cambridge - We were surprised to find an American leading a tour around an iconic British city , however Chuck was fantastic. It was impossible not to laugh with him and whether he was telling ghost stories or providing historical detail he had the audience riveted from the start to finish . There are so many quirky things we had missed walking round during the day time so whether you believe in ghosts or not , it’s impossible not to learn something. Chuck was engaging, knowledgeable, funny, and we would thoroughly recommend! Thank you

If you want a different history of Cambridge... - Toured on a beautifully warm 6th September evening and enjoyed every moment. Really interesting stories and history told by the tour guide. We loved wandering down the small side streets and having the guide bring the ghost stories to life. Maybe I'm a little less sceptical about ghosts now too.

Great Experience! - James was wonderful, we had him for our tour tonight and he explained everything amazingly. My family and I don’t speak English as our first language and we could understand him perfectly. 100% recommend this tour!
