Take a journey around the 15th century town of Greenwich located in the east end of London. Explore its dark past on this spooky guided walking tour and discover some of the terrifying stories of spectres and spooks that haunt the streets. Start at the famous Cutty Sark ship, hear all of its history and what inspired the name from famed Poet, Robbie Burns. Walk the banks of the river Thames, which over the centuries welcomed lords, merchants, and pirates. Learn the ghoulish history of the impressive Trafalgar pub that sits on the river Thames.

DO NOT MISS THIS!!! This was such an incredible tour. The guide was FANTASTIC! He was engaging, hilarious, informed, and a gifted storyteller. I’m not into ghost or paranormal activities, but I was in London for work and needed something to do for the night. This tour well beyond exceeded my expectations! Not only was it a fantastic way to spend an evening but had I known what it would be like I would have sought it out and planned my trip around it. Good if you are solo (like I was), coupled up or with a family (with older kids). Book NOW!
I’m fascinated by history and the paranormal. This was the perfect tour for me. Really informative learned a lot about this history of Greenwich and the paranormal

Thank you for your review! Greenwich is awesome and we're so glad you got to spend a great day there too!
Freezing cold night with a biting wind, young man very pleasant but more of a history walk than a ghost tour (not one in sight) not scary at all
Hi Stephanie so sorry to hear that you didn't have a good time with the weather. Our tours are more of entertaining walk with some fun facts on the darker side of history than a ghost hunt. We recommend checking out the Fortean society or Ghost club websites if you're interested in paranormal studies
The Ghosts of Greenwich tour is great fun with fascinating, historically-based spooky stories that gave us a real appreciation of the area’s intriguing past. Jamie is the kind of guide you always hope you’ll get - extremely well versed in the history, quite funny and with fantastic story-telling skills. He really made this tour a gem of an experience. I get the feeling this tour company is a labor of love by entertainment professionals on a level not usually seen in the tourism industry and I think you’ll find tours with this company will be the better choice.
