Excellent on time , got to see a lot of places 👍. Some great views of the castle with great stories of the past. Highly Recommended

This was a complete and total waste of money. There is so much history in Edinburgh that is intriguing and haunting. The extreme theatrics to which we were subjected were entirely unnecessary and amateurish. The audio video presentation looked like a school project by someone in primary school. The bus was old and stuffy, even more so when they filled it with theatrical smoke during the “seance” Better to spend that money on a fake kilt.

Had a great time last night on the ghost bus tour, full of information but also funny. Tommy Terror the conductor was brilliant. Would definitely recommend this tour.

amys354

This is great fun the bus itself looks great with the lights and curtains and the team on board are so good at what they do a bit spooky a bit funny and plenty of local ghoulish knowledge. Really set the scene well with tales of Edinburgh ghosts and body snatchers. Well done Tommy Terror the kids loved him.

An old London Transport Routemaster bus converted into the Necrobus. The journey we took was at night which is very atmospheric. Heebie McJeebie Man and Angus the driver take you on a tour of Haunted Edinburgh,. The commentary while tongue in cheek is full of interesting facts. There is a stop at St Cuthberts graveyard notorious for Burke and Hare. Be prepared for surprises

Really good theatrics, so entertaining! Tommy terror and bus driver Angus were brilliant. Really worth the money and it's all true ghost stories too!

Megan_W

This was a great experience! Tommy and “Angus” (if that’s his real name) were incredible. Lots of great puns and jokes, filled with information and great little bits of trivia. Sometimes these tours can be disappointing if the guides aren’t invested but honestly Tommy was great. Everything felt genuine and new. Not rehearsed at all. And the stop at the cemetery was amazing!! Good job!
