Amazing tour! We had a very good guide, she was enthusiastic and friendly (except when she thretened us of being hanged or burned!). This tour is perfect for horror and paranormal lovers and it also gives you the chance to visit some of the main must-see places of Bath, so you may also enjoy it if you are not familiar with the city or if you are here just for a few days! The only "negative" note is the price, a bit too high for being a walking tour, but we wanted to do something different and love themed tours, so we went for it anyway. Spoiler alert :) Beware! This is an interactive tour, you might be hanged, burned or slayed (I burnt my best friend, she definitely deserved that! I am sure she was a witch!).

Is definitely worth it,very interesting and opens ur eyes to the true History of Bath. Our tour guide was legendary, loved it. thank u.
