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... More

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... More

Tour guide was witty. Bought a bit of humour to the tour. We all enjoyed the tour. Only improvement would be moving between each section slightly quicker.

Really entertaining tour throughout the city centre. John will make you laugh and get scared at the same time! We really enjoyed it and it's definitely worth to do it if you're looking for an untypical tour! Definitely recommended!

Took dear mama as a belated mothers day treat and didn't know what to expect. We were early and took 5 minutes to grab a quick drink before the tour started. As we sat, John appeared in the doorway (adorned with top hat and cape) and we instantly knew it would be good. John was great host/presenter and could tell... More

I never thought that standing in the cold rain and wind could be fun... John was full of interesting facts from start to finish, he had a very witty sense of humour which made our night very enjoyable and a good laugh... Thanks for a good evening from the Chatham bunch :-)

Oh my, what an enjoyable evening, John's knowledge, gory information and humour makes the evening. I've not laughed so much in ages and also learnt several things. I would highly recommend it.

Full of interesting information about the history of Canterbury. John makes the evening. I've not laughed so much in ages. Good value for money. If you want a good night out I would highly recommend it.

After a pleasant day out in Canterbury, my husband and I thought a daunting ghost tour of the historic city would be a perfect way to end our visit. The tour began in a conventional manner- the host greeted us kindly and we felt at ease instantaneously. However, what emerged afterwards signified that the only daunting entity we experienced that... More

So sorry to read your review, I must try harder to ignore interruptions from rowdy drunk folk and concentrate on entertaining customers, I do hope if you ever come again you will find a better and improved tour. Noisy folk are out beyond my control, and in the past (1991 - 1999) nobody interrupted, but the world has changed and... More

John was absolutely fantastic, full of gory information, risky humour and genuine charm! A real gem, well worth facing the cold for. If you want to know a bit more about the history of this beautiful city and its' streets, (which come alive through the wonderful storytelling on this tour), then canterbury's answer to Stephen Fry's ghost tour is for...

Well thank you for restoring my faith in human compassion, very odd how on the same night you came another customer felt the exact opposite, so glad you took the time to post, and that you enjoyed the tour, do tell your friends. Kind Regards John Hippisley More
