Experience a Thrilling 1-Hour Ghost Bus Tour of Edinburgh's Haunted Locations on a Vintage Routemaster

Experience Days Tours: Take an eerie Edinburgh tour on the Ghost Bus! Climb aboard a genuine funeral bus and let the creepy conductor regale you of terrifying tales and scary secrets from all over Edinburgh. The ghost bus tour of Edinburgh is definitely one of the creepiest experience gifts you can enjoy - but don't worry; it's also one of the funniest! You're guaranteed to laugh as much as you scream - the guides are all professional actors whose job it is to make sure the tour is as funny as it is frightful!

The tour lasts for 1 hour 15 minutes as you're driven around Edinburgh's creepiest corners and scariest streets, hearing the horrifying history of the city, and unearthing quite a few of the skeletons in Edinburgh's closet! This is the perfect way to see Edinburgh, and it's a great family activity too.Hopefully you're not afraid of the dark, because this tour starts in the evening - that's when the ghosts come out! Once the tour begins, your devilish driver will take you around the beautiful spooky city of Edinburgh, passing by some of its most famous sights - but instead of just looking at them, you'll hear about the executions, body-snatching, and torturous deeds that went on there many years ago! The New Town, Grassmarket, Edinburgh Castle, The Old Town, Greyfriar's Kirk, Holyrood Palace and the Royal Mile all have sinister secrets, and this tour will let you in on some of their very worst...

The bus itself is a coffin coach, and was actually originally used in the 19th Century during funerals so that the the coffin, pallbearers, and mourners could get to the service and cemetery together. It's fully refurbished and perfectly safe - apart from the possibility of a few lingering spirits, that is... Think you can handle the horror? Scare yourself silly with the Edinburgh ghost tour!
