Welcome to Colchester History Tours!

I am Raymond McCarthy, an experienced and dedicated tour guide with a love for bringing the past to life.

Our events range from spine-tingling ghost tours to enlightening Roman and medieval walks, all set against the historic backdrop of Britain’s oldest recorded City.

Our mission is simple: to share Colchester’s rich and fascinating history in a way that’s engaging, entertaining, and a little bit spooky when the occasion calls for it.

Whether you’re a local or a visitor, we invite you to step back in time with us and experience the stories that shaped Colchester.
