Great entertaining and informative tour - Just back from a fantastic Creepy Tour of Cambridge with our fab guide Alex. He kept us engaged throughout with a good mix of history and facts not forgetting ghoulish stories. He took us down small back lanes and streets we wouldn’t have found on our own. The myths and legends will stay with us. Cheers Alex.

Worth every penny, so interesting! - I attended the walk on the 1st March 2025, and it was a great time. Our guide was incredible, he was very knowledgable, and a fantastic storyteller. I would highly recommend this tour, especially if you have an interest in the paranormal. 10/10 would attend this walk again!!
