Step Into Britain’s Darkest Tales
Most tours whisper facts. Tonight, you become part of the story.
As found on Get Your Guide
Most walking tours leave you standing in the cold, staring at bricks and cobblestones, listening to tales you’ll forget before your shoes are dry. History isn't dull. History isn't dead.
The streets you walk weren’t empty. They were alive with whispers of the wicked and the damned.
Witches screamed before the flames.
Body snatchers crept under the moonlight.
Highwaymen struck from the shadows.
Plague doctors prowled with their eerie, beaked masks.
And yet… most tours leave you as a silent observer.
At Dark History UK, the past grabs you by the collar and drags you into its secrets.

GUEST REVIEWS
Bought my 2 boys to walk the city with Spooky Jo last night in Coventry, to hear the gruesome histories and tales. Really engaged with the kids. Amazing time and 100% will recommend and use for other City walks.

Spooky Jo is a very engaging guide- masses of knowledge about the city and its residents, past and present. Think our tour was fully booked but she made sure we could all hear ( she projects very well without shouting!). Jo was entertaining and very informative.
