Every city I've visit, I always take time to go on a ghost tour and this one was beyond any doubt, far and away the best one I've been too...

First time in Oxford and found the tour was a very unique way to lean about the history and see the city. Really entertaining, would recommend to all. Loved the random facts and the magic tricks and the dreaded volunteers from the audience! More

We had a fantastic evening- 10 students and two staff members. We saw many highways and byways of Oxford we would never have seen on our very tight schedule during the days we spent in Oxford. Bill entertained and informed us, he really knew how to play and audience! Our students, age 16 to 18 just loved the trail, as... More

This is a fabulously fun and highly entertaining ghost trail - Bill is just fantastic, a real character who brings the scary stories to life with a brilliant mix of magic tricks, jokes and group interaction. Really enjoyable and great value for money - highly recommended!! More

I never ever write reviews, but if you live or visit Oxford this ghost trail is a 'must do'. Bill has you captured and engrossed in the history and ghostly happenings of Oxford past and present!!, and is 100% entertaining. But don't just take my word see for yourself More
