I recommend this tour if history interests you or you love a great ghost story. We had Jacqueline as our tour guide and she was especially fantastic with the children who were very curious about the history of the area and the ghost stories. It was quite entertaining and the information catered for all ages. Great tour.

Who would have thought Ipswich was so interesting, there is so much history in this little town. Very friendly, informative & well researched tour guide Jac. Easy walk and paced out well for the more mature people in the group. I would definitely recommend this tour of Ipswich

Enjoyed the history & learnt new things about my town also enjoyed walking through town. Possibly would change the route slightly to end somewhere for a quiet drink. Enjoyed also seeing through the eyes of people who came to Ipswich for the 1st time. Jackie was a great guide with a wonderful clear voice & great memory. I look forward to doing another tour.
