A great Halloween warm up - I attended the tour last night with my daughter, who is 9 years old. The guide Peter did an excellent job, including ensuring she felt included and engaged, as the only child on the tour. In her words: "Thanks Peter, for the interesting scary facts about Cambridge, including the Black Death, which we are learning about now in school!" Pointing out the Dinky Doors art installations, which we had never noticed before, was an added bonus.

Ghostly tour of Cambridge - Our tour was on 14/10/2025 and was taken by Peter. There were only 6 of us which was a perfect number. The group got on really well and Peter was a great guide. He was very engaging, kept the tour at a level that suited all age groups and it was great to learn more about the ghosts and history of Cambridge.

Fun and interesting ghost walking tour - We went with Peter on the Creepy Cambridge walking tour and really enjoyed it. Peter was engaging and had a fun and interesting knowledge of the spookier aspects of Cambridge along some general aspects of the history of the city. We also saw some sights that we would certainly not have noticed ourselves- the Dinky Doors being one of them. Would definitely recommend!
