Review of Bristol’s House Magicians show, with close-up magic, comedy, pizza, prosecco, venue tips, pricing, age rules, and booking advice.

“Certainly not a perfect show but very sympatic entertainment on local level.

Review of Bristol’s Ghosts, Ghouls & Gallows tour, with spooky stories, historic sites, quizzes, pricing, tips, and practical booking advice.

“It was my first time to take the virtual tour. I thought it was supposed to be a reality tour guided by someone in a real park or some famous places, but it was not, juts a guide or a lecturer stand in front of camera and show pictures and video through zoom. The experience was interesting. Lula was very informative and passionate. The tour referred to some kinds of background of British histories which I cannot really understand, but Lula made some interactive questions that I can get in. Still recommend to have a try during the lock-down periods.”

Toujours les mêmes histoires racontées à différents endroits, peste, enfants, moines, bruits de pas, de cris etc. Quelques bonnes infos sur l'histoire de la ville mais trop long, interminable même...elle nous a tous perdus nous et les 4 espagnols.”
