5.00Our walking club had an amazing time on Ross's ghost walk! From start to finish he was engaging and knowledgable. Ross has a gift for storytelling, he bought the local legends and spooky tales to life with just the right mix of history and humour. He kept everyone involved, answering our questions and tailoring the stories to the group's interest. I can't recommend Ross highly enough. A wonderful guide who kept us all captivated with his stories. Looking forward to booking another one of his tours soon.
Great guide

5.00This was an excellent tour! Ross has a fantastic talent for humorous storytelling and is a wealth of interesting facts and trivia. Starting at Bank, the tour took us through many fascinating sites and hidden corners of the city, culminating in a captivating walk past Newgate Prison where we were told the story of St. Bartholomew’s body-snatchers. True to its name, the tour was filled with gruesome and chilling tales that kept us hooked from start to finish.
