Out tour guide Peter told us a lot of ghost stories and trivia about the town, he showed us details that you wouldn’t notice just walking around. I would really recommend this tour to families with young children. Peter was friendly and engaging and asked Jack a lot of questions about history and literature, and my son was really proud to be able to answer many of them!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 262 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $27

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.”

“Perso, j'ai fait le même type de sortie à Québec et la différence est énorme. L'hôtesse tente tant bien que mal de jouer sur la peur mais c'est raté. 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.”
