Overview

Explore one of the most haunted cities in the country and uncover the chilling history of Cambridge on our 60-minute ghost tour.

This walking tour is conducted in English and takes place outdoors. **Indoor access to structures is not included unless specifically booked as an additional option.** For possible entry to specific colleges, we recommend arranging this in advance.

    Find the origin of the phrase ‘the skeleton in the cupboard’, and the ghost upset by it!

    Hear about some of the attempts to make ghost spotting a scientific endeavour; appropriate for the most scientifically distinguished college!

    Learn how witches were dealt with in a supposedly educated city, and find out what sort of meat was burning in the marketplace in years gone by…

    5 minutes

  • N/A

    Listen to your guide describe how this shop got its name, and see a new side to a classic sweet treat

    5 minutes

  • N/A

    Why does the upper floor of the pub always have a draft? It’s not as simple an answer as you may think!

    5 minutes

5 star tour & Perfect Guide

Published on Mar, 2025

Had our tour today with Rupert and he was the perfect guide! He was full of knowledge, interesting little facts, and witty banter. Had a laugh throughout and even guided us back to town after for our dinner reservation. Highly recommend this tour especially if Rupert is your guide.

Lovely short walking tour of the city with an interesting focus on ghost stories

Published on Mar, 2025

My son and I went on this tour at the weekend & both enjoyed it. Annie was an excellent guide, knowing the city and it's colleges. We were shown around the backstreets of Cambridge, hearing the stories around some of its ghostly history and seeing some lovely little spots we likely would never have stumbled across by ourselves. Thoroughly recommended to other visitors.
