We really enjoyed this ghost tour. No jump scares or props, just a really interesting glimpse into the history and ghost stories of the area. The guide was engaging and knowledgeable and held everyone captivated with stories that were backed with historical facts. We will be back to join another tour.

Really enjoyed it because it was based on the guide’s real enthusiasm for his subject and local knowledge rather than a theatrical experience

Stayed in a hotel overlooking the theatre, so just a flat short walk to the harbour, plenty of seating inside and outside and around the harbour, lots of daily boat trips available but book at least 4 days in advance as they sell out fast when the weather is good. The only downside for me personally is the car park at the harbour, it's chaotic and you need eyes in the back of your head.

Mark was a great guide - knowledgeable and engaging. The whole tour lasts about 1 hour 40 and for me, it was the history of the local area that was more interesting than the ghosts…. But it’s a great way to package history, and to keep the kids entertained.

My partner and I attended one of the ghost tours while we were on holiday in Devon last week, and we had a fantastic time. The tour guide was friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Ilfracombe. He offered reasonable and well thought out explanations for why he believed certain buildings and locations were haunted, and he even introduced us to a few of the local spirits! It’s clear he’s passionate about what he does and is still actively investigating the area to keep the tour fresh and informative. I’m already looking forward to coming back in a year or two to see what new discoveries have been made!
