The best Bath night and ghost tours

Evening tours in Bath are ghost walks. A guide leads you through the old streets and alleys after dark, telling stories of hauntings, crimes and the gallows, and mixing in the city's history along the way. The most reviewed is a fully guided ghost tour, and two other group walks cover similar ground with their own routes and stories. There is also a private ghost tour that adds scented stories to the haunted history.

Group walks last about an hour and a half to two hours. At the time of checking, they were listed from about £16.50 to £18, and the private ghost tour from £90.

Before you book

In winter it is dark by late afternoon, so evening walks start earlier and feel suitably atmospheric. Some walks include scary stories, so read the age guidance before bringing children. Cobbles and steps are harder to see at night, so wear sturdy shoes. During the Christmas market, from 26 November to 13 December 2026, the centre stays busy into the evening, and walks can fill up at weekends.
