About
The Ghost Bus Tours offers a comedic and spooky twist to the traditional sightseeing bus tour around London. This theatrical tour provides both locals and tourists with an exciting ride around the city's historical streets on a classic Routemaster bus, humorously narrated by talented actors in character. Families looking for a fun evening activity might find this guided comedy-horror show to be an enticing alternative to the usual city tours, especially with its promise of bringing to life London's most macabre history.
The tour is designed with a theatrical approach and focuses more on humor rather than scare factor, making it enjoyable for older children and adults. It lasts for about 1 hour and 15 minutes and doesn't require passengers to leave the bus, ensuring a consistent experience regardless of weather.
Things families love
Families appreciate The Ghost Bus Tours for its unique blend of comedy and information that keeps both adults and kids engaged. The humorous presentation masks the historical gravity, creating a memorable outing that's educational yet lively.
Keep in mind
While families with children often enjoy the theatrics, some younger kids or sensitive individuals may find certain ghost stories and jokes slightly intense. Additionally, the vintage bus may not be suitable for strollers or those requiring wheelchair accessibility. It's also advisable to consider the bus's comfort, as the ride can become warm or slightly cramped.
