This is the way the Bath Ghost Walk is promoted online:
"Experience the highly acclaimed tour on foot as you walk through the ancient and mystical streets of the Roman City of Bath. The experienced guides have been thrilling visitors to Bath since 1974 with the real-life stories of macabre goings-on, hauntings and the tragic events of yester-year. Ghost Walks of Bath will take you to many famous places noted for their strange events. Apart from experiencing first hand the charm of this wonderful city and its Georgian buildings, you can sample the atmosphere and imagine the situations which set the stage for so many strange events which have been so well documented."
We decided to test it!
Our conclusion:
It can be said that the Ghost Walk is a well planned city guided tour of a special kind. For the fee of just £5 you get the whole package of evening entertainment: You see some nice sights, learn a lot about the history of the city and get shivers down your spine (and in addition do something for your fitness J). The Walk is, not least because of Mr. Timberland's figurative narrative style and talent for entertaining, a creepy but nice experience.
The Ghost Walk can be recommended and is worth every penny, definitely!
