We really enjoyed the evening walking around the back lanes of Oxford, learning about the ghosts that live in the shadows, and jumping out of our skins at some of the happenings!! more

Did the Ghost Walk on Friday and has such a good time! Bill is very knowledable and knows how to keep your interest with spooky stories and the odd trick or two..! The walk is around 1 hour 45 and takes you all around Oxford, down quiet cobbled alleys and back streets that I never knew were there so you... more

We giggled from start to finish - excellent value for a thoroughly entertaining couple of hours. The price was reasonable and everyone enjoyed themselves being silly. I would definitely recommend this to anyone with a good sense of humour. Bill Spectre has a fantastic voice, great charisma and his theatrical storytelling is highly amusing. My husband and I had a... more

We did this as part of a hen night, Bill was amazing he really made an effort to include us all and make the night very enjoyable and also memorable. Would recommend arranging a private tour, and Bill i hope you weren’t too sacred by all 17 of us crazy women! more

I really enjoyed Bill's ghost tour. It was entertaining and the effects were well timed and added some shocks. Bill is a charismatic speaker and tells the stories with drama. I would definitely recommend it as something different to do on a dark night! more

His ability to conjure up the dead whilst walking you through the winding cobbled back streets is a frightful yet hilarious Hen Party experience. This tour is a must if you want to be spooked and enjoy a good laugh. Full of surprises at every turn. Audience participation is highly recommended. You better watch out...take it from me this city... more

I took part in the Bill Spectre Ghost Trail for a rather unconventional hen night. I had so much fun. A combination of walking round the spooky old cobbled streets in Oxford City Centre (some, which despite living here all my life, I didn't know existed!) and his creepy voice made for an excellent night. The tour lasted for about... more

Went on this because of good reviews on Trip Advisor. Very good, gave a good tour of Oxford. Very theatrical and entertaining but agree with Kazzaren that it get's a bit samey towards the end. If you're not willing to play along a little, don't go. Would recommend to anyone though, good, light hearted entertainment. more
