Visted the jersuslam b4 hand for a drink. That was the highlight. Dont want to say the walk was bad but we did find it boring. I didnt expext the headless horseman to gallop past us. It was cold and group was big. I.could see other people losing interest but since they paid for the tour they probably stayed till the end. We (fam of 5). Decided to call it a day at the robin hood statue and decided to go for a ruby (curry) around the corner at cumin restarant then decided to go karaoki at ten pin . (It was a birthday celebration for my 12yr old). If you every get a chance do.the following. 1. York ghost bus. 2. Jack the ripper tour in london.

Excellent tour, great if you love history and ghost stories. Our guide was fab, absolutely hanging on his every word, he really brought the stories to life, and even got a few laughs despite the macarbe nature of the stories. Best thing was it was dog friendly so we could take our girl, who seemed to really enjoy it too! Highly recommend, excellent value at a tenner a ticket, we will probably do it again when we have visitors to Nottingham!

Tony was fabulous!! He scared me a couple of times haha but he is such a treasure. I randomly turned up in Nottingham and am so happy that I had a chance to do this. It was meant to be. What a rich and vibrant history.

Our first experience of the Ghost Walk was amazing. We had so much fun and found our some amazing stories about Nottingham. Our guide was so knowledgeable, funny and engaging with everyone. She also told the tales and history of the places we visited so well!! Totally recommend. I'll be booking again just for a night out. 👻
