Entertaining, lots of energy into the walk around St James cemetery . Would recommend good night out. Both tour guides really kept us entertained with good humour added. Enjoyed it. Thanks .

Went on this tour last night with friends and it was honestly fantastic. We’ve done tours like this before such as shiverpool and we all agreed that this was much better! Our guides were amazing, Ms Lewishams voice was mesmerising whilst Mr Robert’s with his absolutely salt of the earth personality kept the group gripped for the whole event. The time honestly flew and before we knew it, it was over. The tour was so much fun, it was exciting, spooky and also informative. We were all gripped for the full hour and a half. Have been telling everyone about this and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone from tourists to city dwellers looking for a fun night with friends.

I went for my birthday on the Saturday. I love going on little ghost tours and found this one through instagram. I went with my friends and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was fun, spooky and very educational. I found the tales and little hidden details they showed us to be very interesting and I learned so much about st James’s cemetery, a place I’ve walked through many times, that I’d never picked up before.

This was such a fantastic tour!! The stories that were told were incredibly intriguing and they were conveyed to the group in such an engaging way by the two wonderful tour guides who made the experience a spooky but brilliant one. I would very very highly recommend this tour through St. James’ Cemetery if you are in Liverpool!

The ghost walk through the Acropolis was amazing . I loved hearing the history of the site that goes back to Anglo Saxon pagans and also hearing folklore tales as you go on your walk stopping at various sites at the cemetery. What makes the walk even more atmospheric is the two guides who dress in Edwardian costumes holding their lanterns.

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience from both a historical and paranormal perspective. As a sceptic, I much prefer fact-based tours with a bit of folklore thrown in rather than showmanship and jump scares and this fit the bill for me perfectly. I intend to visit the cemetery in the daylight to have a proper look around (when I next visit Liverpool) and I'd definitely book the tour again! Thank you both for a great evening 😊

Loved the tour, the stories were fascinating and really kept you interested the whole time. We learned loads about the cemetery and Liverpool history and will never look at it the same way again

This was an all round great experience. Our hosts were interesting characters... they obviously put a lot of effort into their appearance and performance. Appart from being entertaining, it was REALLY interesting learning about the history and traditions surrounding the place. They take the time to chat to customers after the events too and they are really nice people who have a genuine interest in the paranormal.
