Welcome to Terrible Tours

Fun Walking History & Ghost Tours of Cambridge, Norwich, Oxford & Brighton

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, Oxford and Brighton are genuinely entertaining and properly funny, but don’t take our word for it, see our 5 star reviews.

Our founder may be a history bore, but our guides are top-notch entertainers. No droning lectures here - 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, funny, lively, and just the right side of terrible… you’re in the right place!
