Think Oxford is just dreaming spires and clever academics? Think again.

Wander through a thousand years of Oxford history, from Viking raids and Norman conquest to outrageous students and eccentric academics. Along the way you'll meet dreadful dons, rebellious scholars, colourful characters and hear the stories they probably hoped would stay buried.

This isn't a tour about architecture, dates and dusty facts. It's history told properly. With humour, strange true stories and one of our expertly entertaining guides leading the way.

Tour spaces are limited and the best dates tend to disappear quickly. Secure your place before Oxford's terrible secrets fill up without you.

The Phantom Prince and the Kitchen Poltergeist

One Brighton royal left behind a legacy of excess, scandal and mystery. One kitchen worker may have left behind something else entirely.

From phantom footsteps to unexplained disturbances, this stop on our Baleful Brighton Ghost Tour asks a simple question. What happens when the dead refuse to clock off?

Join us to hear the full tale of Brighton's most persistent spirits.

A big thank you to Frances for taking the time to leave us this brilliant review:

“Big thanks to Leo for the entertaining and informative tour of Norwich. I’ve certainly learned a lot from the tour and I would highly recommend it.”

Entertaining and informative is exactly what we aim for. Norwich has over 1,000 years of history tucked into its streets, from Viking invasions and medieval mayhem to colourful characters and curious traditions. We're delighted Leo helped bring those stories to life.

Gather your friends, bring your curiosity, and come see why so many locals and visitors leave knowing Norwich a little better than they did before.

A huge thank you to Mia for this fantastic 5-star review of our Cambridge tour:

"The tour was brilliant. Peter, our guide, did a fantastic job. He was engaging, friendly, and really knowledgeable. Highly recommend!"

We're lucky to have guides like Peter, who somehow manage to pack hundreds of years of history, strange stories, terrible decisions, and plenty of laughs into one evening.

Think you know Cambridge? From Vikings and Normans to student pranks and Town vs Gown riots, there's always another story waiting around the corner.

Not all of Oxford’s past is charming.

The Martyrs’ Memorial stands as a reminder of a darker time - when belief came at a deadly cost, and the gates nearby witnessed something truly horrific.

This is history at its most powerful… and its most unsettling.

We don’t shy away from the truth - we tell it properly.

A huge thank you to Adele for this lovely review of our Norwich tour:

“Had a lovely evening walk around the city. Leo was very informative and despite living in Norwich for many years learnt lots of new facts.”

We absolutely love hearing this - especially from locals. Norwich is packed with strange stories, hidden history and the sort of facts you definitely don’t get taught in school…

With the Bank Holiday week underway, our tours are filling up quickly and spaces are limited If you’re after something a bit different to do in Norwich, now’s the time to grab your spot before the city’s curious and courageous beat you to it.

The oldest building and the biggest discovery.

Benet Street is packed with history:

The lab where scientists cracked the “secret of life”
The pub where they celebrated it
Plus… the wonderfully weird Corpus Clock ticking away nearby.

History doesn’t get much better than this.

Hope you’re all having a brilliant Bank Holiday weekend and making the most of the sunshine before Britain remembers it’s Britain again. ☀️

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who’s booked onto a tour with us in Cambridge, Norwich, Oxford and Brighton recently. The support has honestly been incredible.

Seeing so many people laughing, learning, wandering ancient streets and hearing wonderfully strange local stories has made all the hard work worth it. We couldn’t be happier with how well the tours are being received.

Whether you’ve joined us already, left a review, shared a post, or told your mates about us down the pub. Thank you. It genuinely means a lot to our small team.

Here’s to a sunny weekend, full tour groups, and only a small chance of medieval plague.

Hidden, historic… and just a little bit rebellious.

The Turf Tavern has welcomed everyone from students to presidents.

But behind the jokes lies a pub steeped in scandal, secrets, and stories that Oxford would rather you didn’t repeat.

Norwich Castle - Power, Prison, and Prestige

Dominating the skyline for centuries, Norwich Castle has worn many hats - royal stronghold, prison… and now a keeper of stories.

But we don’t just tell you what happened - we bring it to life (with a few laughs along the way).
