Join a 2-hour Zoom ghost walk from Bristol, mixing live storytelling, Penny Dreadfuls trivia, and spooky maritime and church legends.

Supposedly, someone would contact me about possibly rescheduling but I didn’t hear anything. It was very confusing and she indicated that I might have misread the time so that’s why I couldn’t connect. I have to say that it would’ve been easier to swim the English Channel blindfolded than to navigate the system the contact numbers and sites to ask for help were indicated to be not in service or operational. I have used Viator Tours in person tours many times, mostly…”

“Mike did a fantastic job! He taught me new things about the city and kept it very interesting! It was my children‘s first time in Bristol and this was a perfect introduction. The length of the tour was just about right. There is a lot of walking so it would be difficult for younger children or the elderly. I thought it was great value as there is no way we could have seen and learnt all of this on our own in 2.5 hours. Thanks, Mike!”
