No river cruise

There is no Thames cruise. We booked this tour to experience river cruise. Instead he brought us on the tube. Total waste of an evening. Vague stories with no substance it’s basic and boring. Overall it’s rubbish avoid.

Great story-telling!

Our guide was very entertaining! I good story-teller is vital to a good ghost tour! The stories shared contained just the right amount of history, spookiness, and entertainment. I was there with my two sons (14 and 17) and we all enjoyed it. The tour we took included a boat ride on the Thames to the Tower of London. Waiting for the boat and the boat ride itself took up a lot of time that I wish had been filled with more stories about ghosts--it seemed like wasted time. But, overall, this was an excellent tour!

London's dark history with Marvin.

London history is full of intrigue, dirty deeds and crises. This tour leans into the gory dark stories, diving into executions, torture and plagues that were a perennial presence in the city. Marvin was at his best when describing the execution of Lady Margaret, really drawing us into the 11-stroke nightmare. Talk about the importance of proper tipping and an experienced hand.
