Our 60-minute outdoor ghost tour. Wander through eerie streets where ghostly apparitions have been reported for centuries. We don’t use props or jump scares—instead, we share the fascinating supernatural stories that bring Cambridge’s history to life.

Hear about the restless spirit said to haunt a local pub and the ghosts linked to some of the city’s oldest sites. Discover the strange events at Peterhouse that made headlines nationwide, and learn about the dark history of Corpus Christi College and the tragic fates that befell many there.

The tour ends near the city centre, close to the lively parts of town—just in time for a meal or a drink to shake off the spookiness of your journey

We had a great Ghost tour led by Niamh - discovered some wonderful areas of Cambridge we wouldn't usually pass through and found out lots of fascinating facts about the ghostly history of our city! Niamh was a great guide, very eloquent and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend :)

Thank you to Niamh, for a very interesting tour of some of the back streets of Cambridge, which we might never have been down, had we not done this ghost walk. It was a nice way to pass an hour, and introduced us to a lovely pub on the way round, which we later visited for a drink.
Ghost tour at sunset still worth it and good for families interested

Annie was fantastic! Great story telling but not cheesy. I learned some new things about the city despite Cambridge being my home. The tour isn’t too long but you get some decent walking in.
