Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were on a Halloween tour with Stuart as our guide. The walking tour was the highlight of our weekend! Stuart was so knowledgeable, engaging, funny and interesting we would genuinely do this a second time. The walk is a great mix of historical fact and points of interest, mixed with ghost stories and sightings from the city. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a really interesting and informative guide to the lesser known points of the city.

Our guide, Leigh, gave an excellent interactive tour. She shared her knowledge and stories about the places around the city, and she addressed all our curiosities. I gained new insights of the places at the end of the tour. She was really fun, kind, and pleasant to speak to. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who would like to know the 'unspoken' stories and tales of the historical Cambridge. Thank you very much, Leigh!

Great fun tour with loads of interesting facts and insights into the haunting history of Cambridge, all very new even though we've lived outside Cambridge our whole lives! Gerald was a great host for the evening, with much knowldege and great storytelling and we would highly recommend this spooky trip around a fascinating city. Thanks very much!

Nothing could make me happier than knowing I've creeped someone out but in a good way! I'm delighted that you enjoyed my spooky tales laced with a little history - it's always great fun sharing them with the Haunted Cambridge guests, out on the shadowy Cambridge streets! Thanks for your excellent review.

An absolutely sterling evening of creepy stories, gruesome history, and a side of Cambridge rarely glimpsed even by the locals. Sophie was an exceptional tour guide and never once faltered in spite of the noise and thoroughfare of Cambridge on a busy Friday night. If you're looking for something different and, quite literally, off the beaten track, then I can't recommend this one enough.

Ruth was a wonderful tour guide and we were very lucky to have been the only ones on the tour on this particular occasion! We were told that the maximum group size would be 12 which I think is about right. Any more that’s that and it would be difficult to hear.
It’s definitely a good idea to go in the dark as it adds to the overall experience. Ruth was very knowledgeable and showed us so many things that we wouldn’t have noticed ourselves. The stories she told ranged from spooky to gruesome and the peeks by torchlight into the shops were very creepy indeed.
The only is that we wished the tour was longer! Even though we were so cold we couldn’t get enough!
We had many tours to choose from in Cambridge and we are glad we chose this one!

My husband and I booked this tour as part of our weekend break in Cambridge - and we're so glad we did! Our guide Stuart was just fantastic. So knowledgeable and informative not just about the ghost stories he was telling but also about the fascinating history of Cambridge itself. Without relying on hokey special effects or anything of the like, his superb story telling created the perfect creepy atmosphere. If I'm honest, the tour far exceeded our expectations and we would certainly recommend both it and Stuart if you fancy some frights mixed with some fascinating history all rolled into one very entertaining package

Our guide looked the part - flowing black coat and a great way of telling his stories. This way of seeing Cambridge brings history to life and helps your imagination take you back in time. Great fun and a chance to see the little side streets which, as a tourist, you'd just walk on past. Atmospheric with a dark evening when we did the tour in March (be prepared for rain....it is normal in England at this time of year) and really enjoyable.

Sophie took us on a ghost walk around Cambridge town centre which lasted around 1 hour and ended at the Eagle pub. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and interactive, making sure everyone was involved. With the long black cloak and red pitchfork earrings, she certainly looked the part of a spooky tour guide. Definitely recommend!
