Welcome to Terrible Tours

At Terrible Tours we think the best way to learn is to laugh. Less about dates and architecture, more about the odd, the funny, the grisly—and the downright revolting! Our walking tours of Cambridge, Norwich, and Oxford are genuinely entertaining and properly funny—but don’t take our word for it – see our 5 star reviews.

In Cambridge, meet rank Romans, scary Saxons, vile Vikings and nasty Normans—long before the first cheeky student turned up. It’s packed with stories… and the occasional ghost.

Norwich brings medieval mischief, from markets to murky alleyways. Our Nasty Norwich History Tour and Nightmare Norwich Ghost Tour serve up colourful characters, dark deeds, and a healthy dose of the gruesome.

Oxford? Think scheming scholars, strange traditions, and stories that don’t stay buried. Our Oxford tours uncover curious characters, odd events, and ghostly goings-on—with plenty of laughs along the way.

Our founder may be a history bore (Cambridge educated, no less), but our guides are top-notch entertainers. No droning lectures—just fun, immersive walking tours you’ll actually enjoy.

If you’re after Gothic arch analysis and exact dates, we’re not for you—try other walking tour businesses. But if you fancy a tour that’s memorable, lively, and just the right side of terrible… you’re in the right place.
