I don't normally like tours, I get easily bored! But this was fantastic, I got to find out all of the horrible and gruesome history of Canterbury, the stuff I really want to know! Fascinating and funny, I highly recommend it.
Thank you for the lovely review - it seems the previous reviewer had difficulty in taking my personality on board, so glad that you enjoyed it and reviewed here - 100 excellent reviews I must be doing it mostly right.
Kind Regards

We only live 20 mins away so my husband booked it for something to do after we had dinner.
The tour covered a very short distance but maybe this is because there aren't many buildings with ghost stories attached to them or maybe it's because he spent a bit too much time talking about himself, moaning about people who write...

What a pity your husband did not write a review instead, it sounds like he enjoyed it but you did not. Thanks for your honest feedback, i am not going to change, and I have a rite to feedback too.

I live in Canterbury and have never bothered to do this tour as I do not believe in ghosts and think people that do are a bit looney. So I was very sceptical about the whole thing but as it was cheap deal through groupon, I thought why not. We were really surprised at how good it was. It was...

Last Friday evening I had the opportunity to laugh almost non stop for some 1hr45mins. A hard thing to do in these days of austerity. John the Ghost Tour operator was simply one of the most funny and quirky people I have ever! Had the opportunity to meet he was simply the best. His tour was informative made us jump...

Just returned home from the tour this evening [25/05]; completely loved it. Marvellously entertaining and informative. John has the most wonderful sense of humour and it is a long time since I laughed so much - a real tonic. I will certainly go again and highly recommend it for a fabulous evening out. Be prepared though - he made me...

From the beginning I was very impressed with the speed of response to my enquiry, booking was a very simple and easy experience . Our guide, Mr. John Hippisley, was extremelly knowleadgeable of the sites visited and historical events attached to each of them. His sense of humor really enhanced an already enjoyable tour. My husband & I could not...

my partner booked this as a suprise for me and we both loved it, the guys sense of humour has to be seen and heard to be believed but we stood there chuckling all night at his banter and jokes. the history part of the tour was informative on most parts (not sure on all ;), either way it was...

Saw vouchers on Groupon for a ghost tour, thought we'd give it a go. Well, it was unique to say the least!
We had a large group of 20 ish, inc. british tourists, locals, foreign tourists etc. The tour guide was very distinctive in his top hat & cape so easy to recognise.
We found the tour HILARIOUS! I felt...

We went on this tour last Saturday (my birthday present!) and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! John is very witty and yet informative. I have lived in and around Canterbury for over 30 years and didn't know half the information or stories. It is certainly a unique tour - I'm sure nothing else like this exists! I would highly recommend this tour...
