About Haunted and Hidden Bristol Walk
Bristol's Haunted and Hidden experiences reveal the darker side to Bristol's history all in an entertaining and informative way. It won Trip Advisor’s ‘Certificate of Excellence’ in 2017 and was voted as number one on GWR FM'S ‘Top 20 Things to do in Bristol’ as well. All experiences come with your host, John’s, knowledge of Bristol and humour, making them popular with locals and tourists alike.
John's latest project, Bristol rock'n'roll walking tours, launched after lockdown. His love for music, experience managing local bands in Bristol for over 30 years, and being a well-respected promoter on the scene made these walks a no-brainer. John's tours are celebrations of Bristol's history and most-loved music venues new and old.
