★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 366 reviews · 1 hour 15 minutes (approx.) · from $27

Explore Cambridge after dark on a lively ghost walk featuring Oliver Cromwell, Lord Byron, haunted colleges, and old city legends.

“Joining as a solo traveler gave me some difficulties, because you can only book after others have already booked. Though understandable (they want to make sure there are enough people joining to make it worth their while), this was a bit frustrating too. The tour itself was very much fun. Our guide Cid was friendly, enthousiastic and knowledgeable. After learning Cambridge has a ghost on practically every street corner, it was also 'fun' walking back to the hotel in the dark alone;).”
