Loved it so much! The storytelling was fantastic and full of character. We enjoyed how they only had lanterns and torches yet used them to make themselves big with shadows! Thank you both for a great, scary story telling experience! We enjoyed it so much we came back the next day to see the cemetery in daylight. Definitely had a different feel.

We haven't stopped talking about how great this tour was! The tour guides were so funny and made the experience so memorable. We learnt a lot about the dark history of Liverpool, and the stories were delivered in such an engaging and entertaining way. Couldn't recommend it enough!

We went as part of a hen party. The way they told the stories was very engaging, the whole party felt they kept the groups interest. The correspondence in the run up with check in texts was great. And we felt the bell during the tour added to the experience.

We really enjoyed this, lots of interesting history, but most of all it’s the hosts, excellent performance, keep you engaged, make it super fun

Fabulous tour, fabulous guides, really funny and knowledgeable, had a great time, will be booking other tours with them.
