Ghost Tour Of Oxford

Simon was a great guide. Knowledgeable and interesting. Thank you.

What a fun way to explore Oxford. Fun for believers and skeptics alike! Anna was our guide and was the perfect amount of theatrical. She is an excellent story teller and has a great sense of humor. Be sure to check what time sunset is the day of your tour as it was still light out during ours, but very overcast. I could see a nighttime tour adding just a little extra spookiness.

I had the most wonderful tour with Morgana 🤩 so much history in Oxford I didn’t know about. Morgana was spooky and fascinating! 100/10 I recommend this tour 🥰

Morganna was fantastic! Super entertaining and informative. Grew up in Oxford and didn't know half the facts! Well paced and not too far a distance, but with a great overview of the city.

Morgan was absolutely amazing! She was so kind and caring. We learned so much and she was hilarious. She fed off of our energy and even told us different facts! She was a blast!

Really enjoyed our experience, lots of good tales around many parts of the city. Our guide was knowledgeable about her subject and interacted with the group really well. Recommend this tour if you are in Oxford

Really good tour from Tilly. Very engaging, fun and informative. We were able to book online and join very last minute to suit our plans. Thank you

Highly recommend this tour, loved the drama and it had just the right level of detail and history. Tilly was an excellent guide. Covered some interesting locations and stories. We had our 16 year old son with us and it kept him interested enough that he didn’t look at his phone once during the whole tour - quite the accomplishment!! We also got a good recommendation of an area to go to for dinner afterwards which was much appreciated.

Megan was the perfect host, storyteller and guide for our ghost walk in Oxford. Megan had a fantastic ability to tell the ghost stories, sharing historical knowledge, engaging the group, and adding a unique, humourous, and personal approach. We recommend this tour.

We took the Footprints ghost tour on Halloween night and it was absolutely fantastic! Our guide was a history major student who brought Oxford's spooky past to life by staying in character as someone who once lived in the city. Her storytelling approach made the tour feel incredibly immersive and engaging rather than just a recitation of facts. The combination of historical knowledge and theatrical presentation created the perfect atmosphere for a Halloween evening in Oxford. We were thoroughly entertained from start to finish and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oxford, especially if you're looking for a unique way to experience the city's rich history. A memorable experience we won't forget!

It was a strange tour, the accuracy of information was questionable to each location stop and it was assumed we knew the difference between each college. There was no room for questions and the stories were vague and a bit drab. We made the most of it but it didn't feel like we got any value for money.

I really enjoyed it! There was a lot of history mixed into the ghost stories and our tour guide, I think his name was Jasper, was very knkwladgable and was absolutely lovely.

I had expected great things but unfortunately our guide had very little interaction with the group. He walked to his spot, told his story, then moved on. No questions, no context for where we were or why the story mattered. sometimes he’d name drop colleges as if we knew that’s where we were or why it was important. Some stories didn’t relate to the location they were being told. Tour finished at almost the 1 hour mark - so shorter than expected. The costume was impressive but made questions impossible and you have to ask what a plague doctor get up has to do with ghosts

The Ghost tour was excellent and had a great amount of sinister and sordid details to accompany the ghost stories! It was quite fascinating. My tour guide was excellent. I think his name was Sebastian and he was fully dressed in a plague costume!

The reviews I had read for this tour sounded brilliant. The reality was a very dry delivery of facts around some of the colleges/ historic sites of Oxford. There was very little interaction between the guide and the group. He clearly knew his stuff but there was no excitement around the tour- he recited his piece, then we went to the next site. The costume was excellent but the reality of wearing a mask for the whole tour meant it was difficult to hear clearly. I wouldn’t book this again.

Unfortunately this was nothing like it was described on the booking site. It stated that it would be" A spooky adventure packed with the most chilling and torturous deaths seen anywhere in England. Complete with surprise appearances from a range of vengeful and disgruntled spirits Bring an open mind, courage and a spare pair of underwear! Our expertly trained actors will play out before you some of the most barbaric and brutal punishments ever exacted. This tour should not be taken by the faint-hearted as it includes the surprise appearance of multiple wild beasts! Side effects may include sleepless night, potential whiplash and euphoric exultation. Luckily this tour ends next to one of the most historic and famous pubs in Oxford" The guide didn't always wait for everyone to keep up, and when he spoke it was hard to hear him. He stopped in busy areas that were hard to hear and concentrate, one being in the middle of a wedding party. There were no surprises appearances from anyone, and it ended down a quiet side street 4 minutes early. I actually thought at one point we had joined the wrong tour. Not impressed very disappointed and would request a refund if I could. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

Our tour guide was amazing (Think his name was Will)! So knowledgeable with great stories about the city of Oxford. Would highly recommend to those interested in a different type of city tour.

A great evening of gruesome entertainment, exploring the back streets of Oxford with a terrifying story teller (Will)....who turned out in the end to be a lovely guy and happy to offer some pub recommendations :)

The trip was exceptional. The narrative in the trip captured the experience. I apologize; I believe his name is Rick, though I'm not certain, but he did an outstanding job.

We had a wonderful tour with Will as Doctor Faustus! I took my mum as her Christmas present as she has always wanted to go. The stories were haunting and Will's performance was very compelling. Thank you!

Will was a great guide. Very informative and atmospheric. He took us down some spooky lanes. Highly recommended Made us look at Oxford in a whole new slightly scary light!!

Will ate this up! Such a good story-teller and really committed to the vibes. You feel like you have stepped back in time when you walk around the dark streets of Oxford. Fun night out, I love learning local stories you wouldn’t normally stumble across

My girlfriend and I took the tour on a dark and spooky night with Will the tour guide, and we had a brilliant time! We learnt so much about the gruesome history of Oxford, told in an engaging and entertaining way, all in the company of our charismatic and very knowledgeable plague doctor guide! Would highly recommend this tour.

Will was absolutely fantastic. Great knowledge and all portrayed very theatrically with brilliant story telling. It was part of my daughter's birthday and she loved it. Whole heartedly recommend this tour.

Excellent ghost tour and great way to learn about some of the darker history of Oxford. Doctor Faustus (Will) was a fantastic story teller and kept the group completely engaged for the entirety of the chilly tour.

great tour - lots of interesting facts whilst viewing some beautiful buildings. our tour guide was excellent

Will was an amazing guide. Knowledgeable and fun. Would definitely recommend. His outfit was amazing too. Well done Will.

My partner and I recently embarked on the Oxford Ghost Tour, and it was an experience we’ll never forget! Led by the enigmatic Doctor Faustus, aka Will, the tour was a masterclass in storytelling. Will’s skillful narration brought to life the gruesome and haunting tales lurking in Oxford’s shadows. As we weaved through the historic streets, each stop unraveled a new chilling story, more captivating than the last. Will’s theatrical flair and deep knowledge of Oxford’s dark history kept us spellbound from start to finish. His ability to mix suspense with a touch of humor made the evening both thrilling and enjoyable. Whether you’re a history buff, a thrill-seeker, or just looking for a unique way to explore the city, the Oxford Ghost Tour with Doctor Faustus is a must-do. We left with goosebumps and a newfound appreciation for the stories that haunt this beautiful city. Highly recommended!

Will was a splendid and knowledgable leader, with lots of expression and good ghost story telling! It was great way to see the old part of the city, with the spooky cobbled streets, churches and old dimly lit lanterns. Would recommend it. We are a family of 5, youngest is 9. Would say not recommended for younger than that; she enjoyed it and the 11 year old and 13 year old really enjoyed it!

We did this tour on Halloween night. It was atmospheric & our guide was dressed for the part. He imparted lots of stories on the guided walk around Oxfords sights. A good range of tales and hauntings.

We throughly enjoyed the ghost tour. Our guide, Tilly, was very knowledgeable and had made a lot of effort with her costume. The tour took us down some fabulous streets in Oxford, and really allowed us to take in the beautiful architecture around us. The ghost stories were very interesting and entertaining. We would highly recommend this tour.

I went with my son and two teenage grandchildren. We all had the most brilliant time! Ellen was just amazing….full of knowledge, humour and fun! I do hope this tour goes on to be a great success.

Really good - knowledgeable and in character. Had a nice walk around Oxford with some interesting tales.
