Kinda dumb and boring
Honestly, this was kinda dumb. Our guide was overly theatrical and dramatic which didn't add to the tour,..it was rather awkward. It probably could have been half as long because everything was drawn out and dramatised. Would have enjoyed more information about Bath and the sites along with the ghost stories.
I wouldn't take this tour again and was one of the worst walking tours I've taken in a city.

A fun night out learning about some of the more macabre Bristol history
Jimmy made it a really fun night and it was great to check out the history in the area. I thought it was incredibly good value for money and a well organised tour.

Excellent value and interesting tour
Excellent value for money ghost tour! I booked this tour while visiting Bath and was not disappointed! We had an excellent guide, Mrs Stricnine. The tour lasted 2 hours and we visited many interesting places you would pass by without knowing their gruesome history. Our guide was very informative and funny and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Prices are good value for the length of tour and content. It’s not a tiring walk at all and all places of interest are close by. Well worth it if you’re staying in Bath, I highly recommend it.

Jimmy was great
We would like to begin by acknowledging Jimmy, whose delightful demeanor and extensive knowledge truly enhanced our tour experience beyond our expectations. His passion for the tour brought to life a wealth of history and stories about the city that one would simply not discover without participating in this excursion. We highly recommend this tour, and particularly Jimmy, for an exceptional evening out.

Really Enjoyable Activity.
Tobias Carver the Bristol butcher was a great walking guide. Stories were good, history was interesting. Interactive parts too. Allowed time at the end for photo opportunities. Would recommend. Even enjoyed by the teenager.
