    This tour is worth doing, ghostly going ons at Greenwich

    I originally was suppose to go on this tour on Wednesday, but was asked if I could attend it on Saturday as I'd be the only guest attending Wednesday, it was worth the wait. The tour guide Ryan really knew his paranormal history which I was extremely impressed with, because I also have the same knowledge. The other guests who attended this tour were equally impressed with his and my knowledge including an American couple, who I was talking at great length to about this subject. One place in particular which Ryan spoke about was the Tulip Staircase ghost at the Queens House, which I'm also familiar with. I told the other guests that I've seen that photo 100 of times and then told them that the photo was taken over 60 years ago and to this day has never been debunked, even sceptics have a tough time saying it a fake. That photo is a 100% genuine ghost photo. I did also mention that I have been to the Queens House and if your interested in paintings, it's worth a visit. Although this tour company isn't as big as others doing the same kind of tours. Do this one a chance, because sometimes little companies like these have the best tour guides who truly know their history. I have been on similar ghost tours and recently I came across one which fell short and it was a slightly bigger company. All in all, it's worth checking out this tour because places like Greenwich do have some haunted locations and some like the Queens House are famous.

    A Spooky Night Full of Great Stories! 👻

    We had a fantastic time on the ghost tour in Greenwich! Jamie, our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and a brilliant storyteller. As we were the only two people on the tour, he went the extra mile and shared a few additional stories with us, which made the experience feel really personal. We even finished the tour by having a beer with him while he continued telling us more stories — the perfect way to end the evening! 👻🍺 Highly recommended if you’re looking for a fun, atmospheric and genuinely interesting tour of Greenwich!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review! Glad you got to learn a bit extra too!

    Well, we learned a lot!

    Wow! Jamie was the most amazing story-teller. Involved the group (3 different parties) in each story by learning our names and involving us. He was so animated and passionate. He answered our questions (which there were lots of) fully and with so much knowledge. This has been the best bit of our trip to London and I highly recommend it. We will be boooking on the Glasgow tour next time we are there. Thank you Jamie.

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your review! Hope you enjoy our Glasgow tour when you visit

    Amazing experience

    What an amazing storytelling experience! Jamie, our guide, took us on a journey through mysterious ghost stories that made us completely forget time and place. It was so much more than a tour — it was a whole performance, filled with fascinating details, audience interaction, and visual elements that brought the stories to life. An absolute highlight of our trip to London!

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your review!

    Ghosts of Greenwich: London's Haunted Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.

    How much does Ghosts of Greenwich: London's Haunted Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $22 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Ghosts of Greenwich: London's Haunted Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.

    Is Ghosts of Greenwich: London's Haunted Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 72 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Ghosts of Greenwich: London's Haunted Walking Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Ghosts of Greenwich: London's Haunted Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Ghosts of Greenwich: London's Haunted Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 25 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Ghosts of Greenwich: London's Haunted Walking Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in London?

    +

    London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit London?

    +

    May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in London?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Ghosts of Greenwich: London's Haunted Walking Tour?

    +

    Included: Projector. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Ghosts of Greenwich: London's Haunted Walking Tour?

    +

    Your guide will meet you next to the Cutty Sark, near the Greenwich Foot Tunnel. Nearest station is Cutty Sark DLR or Greenwich overground station. Your guide will be holding an orange umbrella. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Ghosts of Greenwich: London's Haunted Walking Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Ghosts of Greenwich: London's Haunted Walking Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Ghosts of Greenwich: London's Haunted Walking Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; and Transportation options are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Ghosts of Greenwich: London's Haunted Walking Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
