My partner and I really enjoyed this experience. The tour delivered a great deal of historical knowledge. including events from hundreds of years ago, and connexions with a host of more modern artists. The host was brilliant. He was factual, interactive and very informative. His delivery was funny where appropriate, interactive and cheerful.
I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to any resident, or any visitor to Bristol. Excellent value.

The tour was really good fun. John was vey knowledgeable and had plenty of stories! Having lived in Bristol nearly all my life, I was surprised to learn about new places, or landmarks that o hadn’t really noticed before. We really enjoyed it and I’d recommend it as a great evening out!
It was a very enjoyable evening. The host was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. We learnt a lot about Bristol that evening and felt the content and length was spot on.
This is an extremely interesting trip with loads of facts about Bristol. Some ghost stories were included but in essence it is more of a historical tour, still very enjoyable and John has extensive knowledge so would recommend it.
John the Host was very professional 👍👍
Fantastic Night! John is highly knowledgeable and makes it great fun

John has hosted the Haunted and Hidden Walk for 16 years, and has made TV appearances on Most Haunted, The Source and Made in Bristol. He has a whole host of stories about the city, having also run walking tours about both Clifton and Old Market and spent time working on private tours of TV locations for the Bristol Open Top tour bus.
Rock'n'roll is John's other biggest passion - from this love Bristol's rock'n'roll walking tours were born. Launched after lockdown, these walks are trips down nostalgia lane and around Bristol's legendary music venues. John has managed local bands in Bristol for over 30 years and promoted various shows - he seriously knows his stuff. 2020 saw the release of a book of his time with local band FAB 208.
