Experience York's Haunted History on a 1-Hour Ghost Bus Tour with a Hilarious Guide and Discover the City's Spookiest Sights

Experience Days Tours: This is a York tour with a terrifying twist... climb aboard the Ghost Bus and scare yourself silly with the rest of the petrified passengers on one of our creepiest experience gifts! Expect quite a few laughs to go with those screams though; your guides are as funny as they are frightful.

Not your everyday, common-or-garden tour guides, the Ghost Tour guides are actually actors who know just how to make you shake with fear and laughter at the same time. This ghoulish trip lasts for around an hour and 15 minutes, as you are taken around the city's scariest stops with your guide's ghastly ghost stories and tales from the city's underbelly! .This is an evening tour, obviously (ghosts don't come out during the day)! As you make your way around what is often hailed as one of the UK's most haunted cities, you'll learn all about the York's spooky, sinister side, including the bone-chilling stories behind some of its famous landmarks - York Minster, Clifford's Tower and Dick Turpin's grave will have a whole new air of terror once you're done with the tour! As if this weren't scary enough you'll take a trip to some of York's many, many haunted buildings, and find out more than you ever wanted to know about the ghouls and ghosts that live within the City walls.

The ghost bus itself is actually a real funeral bus that was used in the 19th Century to transport the coffin (and its contents), the pallbearers, and 50 mourners to and from a funeral! This award winning tour is hilarious and horrifying at the same time, and the perfect family activity. If you ain't afraid of no ghosts, try a York Ghost Bus Tour!
