Haunted and Hidden Bristol Walking Tour

Group of 6 of this did this on our first day on an extended weekend break in Bristol. A very entertaining and informative tour for those who know the city and for those, like us, who don't.

Easy to find start point, entertaining and interesting throughout, took us all around the city, timing just right, would recommend

Really fun experience and great host, we learned loads about the history of Bristol. Definitely recommend!

Had a great time, thanks for the tour! Lived here a long time but have clearly missed quite a lot!

A super whistle stop tour of interesting bits of Bristol city centre from the Cathedral to the Old Vic and lots in between. Grizzly history or filming locations - our guide had all the info.

We really enjoyed our walk around Bristol,it was a great way to get our bearings and find where everything is.Really informative and engaging stories especially all the ghostly tales,even my three teenagers enjoyed it which is about the highest accolade you can get.

Really informative, I've been living in Bristol for four years but still learnt so much! John was attentive, funny, informative and overall we really loved the tour. :)

We liked all the ghosty stuff the best 😁

A great walking tour of Bristol, would thoroughly recommend! I’ve lived in Bristol for many years and didn’t know half of the information John gave us, a great experience.

As a bristol resident, it was great to learn loads of new information about the city. Really interesting and informative, and John was great for recommending good independent music venues and shops so I imagine it would be a great intro to bristol if you were visiting!

Was brilliant not just stories about ghosts but some interesting history or dark history. Some things I didn't know about. Shout out and recommended from me and haunted the truth

Great tour and learnt a lot!

We learnt lots of facts about Bristol that you wouldn't necessarily know even if you live here for some time.

Myself and my 2 teenagers really enjoyed the walk. It was a fun and interesting evening. The route was just the right length, not too short or long. Great value for money.

What a brilliant tour! I’ve recommended it to so many people since. Absolutely facinating

Really good mix of ghost stories and history. I'd recommend this to everyone, even if you think you already know alot about Bristol. Excellent host who seems to be a walking encyclopedia of local history and horror stories.

Excellent very informative.

Excellent, entertaining, educational, well spent two hours, with a very helpful, lovely tour guide.

I wish all guided walks were like this! John has an incredible ability to seamlessly mix history, ghost stories and fascinating film, music and TV facts into one tour, keeping us all gripped throughout. He has a real local's knowledge and even threw in a few pub/bar/restaurant/venue recommendations. He was also really flexible and understanding in allowing me to reschedule when I was unable to make a couple of dates.

Very informative great fun 😁

Really interesting and entertaining walk with a great guide. Makes you see Bristol in a new light. The time flew by!

It was such a fun way to spend the evening. Highly recommend going with a group of friends. John was great!

We loved this walking tour. The host was a mine of experience (it was very apparent that he’d lived in Bristol for years and loves the area and the people). We really enjoyed the history and the discovery of places in our new home city that we have a history for when we visit / walk through in the future. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get to know Bristol better and also who wants a really interesting evening out.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the city and its haunted past. He was very friendly and made it really fun. Completely recommend to all.

As a friends night out it ticked all the boxes, fun, interesting and sociable plus a great host

What a great experience! The tour is great value for money as it’s jammed packed with facts and trivia about historical Bristol and film sets that have been filmed across the city. The host was also really funny which made the experience extra enjoyable! The walking route was easy and we went at a good pace for everyone to keep up, it never felt like we were in a rush. We have already recommended this to several friends and are thinking about booking one for our family next time they visit.

Loved this walk around Bristol. John knew so much information and had a good sense of humour. Would definitely recommend this to anyone in Bristol.

John, our amiable host, took us on a back streets walk of the city centre, front loading with anecdotes about the buildings around. Lots of facts I wasn’t aware of, despite working in Bristol centre for over twenty years.

The tour guide was lovely and it was really interesting :)

The tour guide was balanced facts with Bristol humour really well. It was insightful to learn about the old haunted history and the modern movie/music history of the buildings. The tour guide was brilliant.

John was a great host and kept the entertainment coming with interesting facts and stories about the history of Bristol. A couple of a great one liners and just a great way to spend 90 minutes!

John was a fantastic guide. He has a real passion for the city of Bristol. He was extremely knowledgable and even though we are all locals we learnt loads.

Really informative and great friendly tour guide

Thanks for a great experience!

It was an awesome walk around Bristol and the rest of my family enjoyed it too. It was great visiting different areas of Bristol I hadn't been to before.

Well having lived in Bristol all my life surprised at what I didn’t know! Host was really good with good interactions with us. Couldn’t have asked for anyone better👍

A thoroughly enjoyable experience learning so much about the history of Bristol told in an amusing way. We saw parts of central Bristol that I never knew existed. Great humour and knowledge from our entertaining host.

A great way to spend an evening, lots of really interesting facts about the local history. The length of the walk was good for the time of day too

The yup team were very helpful when I was running late to help put me in contact with the host to meet along the route. The service was fast and straight forward something I didn’t expect on a Saturday night. It’s nice to see customer service at the for front of your platform it was not unnoticed and a refreshing change in today’s market. John the host happily welcomed us to continue the tour with him and we were also allowed to bring our dog, it was an interesting evening!

Informative and fun! Great host and easy booking.

John was an excellent tour guide. He catered perfectly to our small group, making us feel at ease as soon as we arrived, giving us far more information than we could possibly have paid for. No question was too much trouble at all, John had a wealth of knowledge on more than just the ghostly side of things; music, pop culture and history were all covered. We had a brilliant night getting to the know city and will definitely be back. Thanks!

John was a great host. Clear, entertaining and very knowledgeable. The walk itself was about the right duration and we saw places and heard stories and history that were, to us as relative locals, a complete education.
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would recommend to all ages.
Brilliant.

The tour was absolutely brilliant! We had such a great time, it was amazing to see a side a Bristol I had no idea about and hear so much interesting history, pop culture and ghost stories! John was a great host and made it really fun and was professional and relaxed. I would definitely recommend. Thank you John for a great evening!

The walk was really fascinating, we really enjoyed it

Focused mostly on celebrity visits to Bristol for the first half but became more ghost-based in the latter half. Great host, very affable. Found out plenty of new stories about places in Bristol I walk past every day.

I suspect we picked up some free taggers-on as the walk progressed, as our numbers seemed greater at the end than the beginning, but oh well!

We absolutely loved the tour, we have actually been before but it was slightly different this time! John is so knowledgable and engaging, it is obvious he loves the tours and Bristol! The walk was at a nice steady pace stopping at points of interest, we’ve always loved in Bristol and learnt so much! Well worth the money, I will be recommending it to all our friends!

This was a great way to spend a Friday evening walking around Bristol learning about it's ghosts and history. John was a very knowledgeable host and he made the tour fun and interesting.

Really enjoyed learning new stories and hidden facts about the city I live in. Great host.

We had a lovely afternoon with John who is very knowledgeable and kind.

John was a great tour guide and very entertaining. Great way to spend a Friday evening!

I bought this experience for my family and we all thoroughly enjoyed it and I would 100% recommend this experience to a friend! Thank you for a great tour - perfect for a local or a visitor so interesting!

Excellent, warm welcoming tour guide who was so enthusiastic and happy to answer any and all questions! The tour itself was brilliantly put together and was so interesting, I enjoyed it so much my only wish is that it could have been longer!

John was a fantastic, very knowledgable and entertaining guide - Had a great time and learnt stuff I never knew about Bristol after all these years growing up here! (Highly recommend)

Absolutely awesome tour . Great host who was friendly and could tell you a lot of history of the city and the different haunted places around the Bristol area.
Thank you :)
