Review of the London Dungeon, with live actors, dark London history, scares, humor, practical tips, pricing, and family advice.

“Was absolutely brilliant would definitely go again and highly recommend to anyone visiting London. The only negative was the price of the pictures you can purchase at the end of the experience. For one picture of us on the drop ride was £15. Far too much. Apart from that I can’t fault anything.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,251 reviews · 2 hours · from $26

Explore London’s darker past on a guided ghost walk from Green Park to the Tower, with a 30-minute Thames boat ride or Tube transfer.

“Our guide, Zachary was really good at telling stories. He spoke loud and clear which is needed in London’s buzzing noise. We loved that we got a boat ride in between stories, which also is very convenient so that you can rest your legs or use the toilet. We also had our 2 year old son in a stroller with us. Zachary kindly offered to take small detours to avoid stairs, but we have a light stroller and the few stairs on the tour was no problem at all for us. Recommended!:)”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 404 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $26

Explore Liverpool’s haunted Hope Street, two cathedrals, dark local stories, and St James’ Gardens on a theatrical 90-minute tour.

“A fabulous nights entertainment. The acting was spot-on. The two characters made sure we could all hear and they were constantly checking to make sure we were all there and okay and safe. They engaged with the crowd remembering where certain people had come from and there was constant banter with individuals in the party as well as passers by. I am from Liverpool and found out a lot of history about which I had no idea as well as listening to the ghoulish stories. I would thoroughly recommend and have done to my friends.”
