About this activity

Looking for a Bath ghost tour that feels genuinely different?

We offer private tours that are perfect for couples, friends, solo travellers and dark humour lovers.

This is NOT your typical ghost tour. It's an immersive experience that draws you

into the darker side of Bath through vivid storytelling, dark humour and unexpected moments that are both fun and unsettling.

At key points, specially chosen scent cards pull you deeper into the stories - sometimes comforting, sometimes unsettling, and occasionally something you may wish you had not smelled.

These sensory moments make the stories and experience feel more vivid, memorable and real.

Shared with the group around you, it becomes a night of laughter, tension, surprise and something far more memorable than a standard walking tour.

Created by Bath-based storytellers with experience in performance, ghost stories, and immersive audience interaction.
