Peter was an amazing guide. I did the tour solo but in a group, and he made sure I felt like I could chime in and feel included. He was very knowledgeable about various Cambridge sights and ghost stories, while also adding his own fun spin. Would highly recommend the tour.
Great knowledge, well paced tour

Well paced with a good number of stops and some ghost stories (with some stuff that may or may not be evidence!) I have lived here for 23 years and Peter taught me some new things about my town so thanks

I decided to get a Terrible Tours ticket for Halloween night, and the Ghost Tour around Cambridge did not disappoint. Our tour guide, David, was very entertaining and knowledgeable about the history of Cambridge and its many paranormal occurances. The length of the tour was also ideal and it never felt like I was getting bored or tired. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in paranormal activities and learning about Cambridge. Although it did rain during the tour, it added some atmospheric ambience to the tour.

Peter was great, really informative and interesting tour based on facts with a sprinkle on the paranormal, even though Cambridge is pretty much on our doorstep we learnt a lot about Cambridge’s history and its spooky 👻 past !
Fantastic tour!
