A fascinating and fun ghost/history tour of Winchester! - One of the best parts of the tour was the host. Very informative, amusing, and he didn't take himself too seriously. The amount of things I learnt was great, I class myself as a bit of a history buff, but I bow to his level of knowledge! He really brought the history and paranormal sides of this beautiful city to life. Would highly recommend this tour

Interesting and fun. - Really interesting tour and a very friendly host. Found out so much more about Winchester and the history of Alfred the Great than you get from just wandering around the city. It was also a good thing to do on an evening - filling in the time between dinner and pub really well.
