Expect a family-friendly tour with plenty of walking, a maximum of 40 people, and a mood that leans atmospheric rather than terrifying.

“Our guide was easy to talk with and answered all our questions and had a pretty solid grasp of London history. However, there were fewer ghost stories than we were expecting. Also, many of the places we visited did not feel like they had a ghostly feel them. As a history tour, it was good. As a ghost story tour, it was so so.”
