5.00A great introduction to Cambridge. David was very entertaining and knowledgeable, and we enjoyed our creepy visit around the city very much. My son especially enjoyed it & has many tales to take back to his Gothic Literature club at school! Many thanks David 🙏
Fun to be had!

5.00We had a lovely time with Alex. He was a bundle of energetic enthusiasm, in spite of the cold. The tour left and ended on time, covering a variety of spots and featured a good variety of stories and historical details.
A very enjoyable walk, thank you Peter for a great night.

5.00A big thank you to Peter for a superb ghost walk around the historic streets of Cambridge. Having done almost a hundred ghost walks in every corner of the UK it is always nice to add another one to the list and where could be better than in the lovely city of Cambridge. Peter helped bring the history of the city alive and had a wealth of knowledge of both the city and its many ghosts. I particularly appreciated the fact that Peter had clearly researched the stories and could add experiences from people working at the haunted sites that had been related to him as a result of his research. So a huge thank you to Peter, I will recommend you and the tour to my good friends in the Ghost Club.
Great time, would recommend

5.00We met our tour guide at Magdalene bridge easily, Peter was fantastic really knowledgable and great sense of humour. The tour was really interesting and he gave us lots of ideas of what we could do the next day as we were not from the area. Great history and stories throughout, definitely some creepy areas! After the tour ended Peter very kindly walked with us to a Thai restaurant as we were hungry and had no idea where to go, thank you so much!
Amazing Spooky Tour!

5.00The guide, Peter, had a lot of interesting and exciting information. You see things and learn stories that you would never have discovered and that are not in the usual commercial guidebook. Very entertaining 1.5 hours that were really worth it.
Great night ghostying (and enjoying a bit of history!) in Cambridge. Great job Peter (not Paul!)

5.00Really enjoyed the walk. It was a great nights entertainment. Interesting and fun. A perfect mix of history and ghost stories. Peter was great. I think he pitched the right pace, mix of history, haunted stuff (and a bit of much appreciated humour!). I could have lived with it being 20/30 mins shorter as I was expecting it to be 1 hour 15 (as on the advert) and we closed at after half 8 but that was probably because I expected it to be a bit shorter and I can’t fault the content or delivery. Tough to know what you’d drop if it was to be just the 1 hour 15 as advertised. Really enjoyable evening and way to see Cambridge and learn a bit more about its history.
