5.00A terrifyingly fun filled experience full of mystery, magic and murder. We were transported through time to a place where the horrors of life…and death…were around every corner.

5.00A great little tour, lasts about an hour and a half, with a quirky tour guide who was full of scary knowledge, and funny comments. Wrap up warm if you're doing the winter time walks, it's chilly! This won't be for everyone. Myself and my friend both enjoyed it, but some may not appreciate the quirky performance from the guide. But for the price, it was a great addition to our night away.
Fantastic evening out

4.00This was a fun thing to do especially during the evening. The person leading the tour was well into his character and at times was a little bit scary! The person leading the tour was informative and full of drama and we thoroughly enjoyed learning all about the sinister history of Stratford Upon Avon!
Great tour

5.00A great tour with a fabulous guide. Despite the rain we thoroughly enjoyed his delivery and sense of humour. It’s not too long a tour so you don’t get bored. Stratford upon Avon is a beautiful place that hides some sinister secrets.
Book- you won’t be disappointed !
