Very funny and entertaining bus tour. Our guide Tommy was hilarious and Angus the driver the same. We had so much fun and find out so many 'horror' stories about some of Edinburgh streets.
I've attended twice now in consecutive years and enjoyed my time on both occasions. First time I was traveling solo and at the second time with a friend. I consider the ride light hearted enough to be suitable for children who like spooky things, as well as adults interested in dark history. If you're looking for a truly scary ride this might not be it, so manage your expectations on that. Instead, it's a bus of great storyes, dark themes and light joking. Tommy Terror (host) seems to have a genuine passion for what he does and he's really good at it. He's a great storyteller, and during the 1 hour ride he covers the most important stories of the infamous dark side of Edinburgh. I will (and have) recommend the ride with a warm heart.🖤
Valeria was so informative and was an amazing guide! Would highly recommend this company for your future tours, can’t miss it!
Our guide Jen was amazing she was very funny, nice and much informative. Highly recommended.
Catherine was excellent and enthusiastic. So knowledgeable and really enjoyed telling us the stories! 10/10
This was so fun! Its a show on wheels and MC Tommy does his best to not only keep you engaged but is funny to boot! I really appreciated that you had the option to stay on the bus when you went to stops and there was still a video to entertain you with more spooky info. This was a fun tour and was a great way to see the city in a warm bus.
Catherine was an amazing tour guide! Very knowledgeable and made it a fun and entertaining experience! Highly recommend!
We visited Edinburgh Castle and had an amazing guided tour with Valerie. She was truly exceptional — her storytelling was beautiful and full of fascinating details that brought the castle’s history to life. One of the best guides we’ve ever had!
We had so much fun on this ghost bus tour! Tommy Terror was awesome and funny, a masterful storyteller. Family friendly jokes and atmosphere. Not actually scary at all… But it is packed with excellent history about real serial killers, murderers, executed thieves, and the local hauntings surrounding them. You have the option to get off the bus and stand in Edinburgh’s oldest graveyard and try to capture a picture of a spirit in the haunted guard tower. What better way to spend an hour? (Definitely get there at least 15 minutes early to get in line, as seating is first-come-first-serve. Our tour was sold out. My bf and I were 17 minutes early and we got the last empty 2-seat bench. A couple right after us had to ask a single rider to move and sit with another single rider so they could sit together. And one couple arrived 5 minutes before the start of the tour, got on the bus, realized they wouldn’t be able to sit together, and decided to get off and ask for a refund. If you care where you sit, be early.)
Definitely a nice tour with a spooky touch for everyone who’d like to get to know more about the “dark side” of Edinburgh. Our guide Tommy Terror -and of course our driver Angus- were great and entertaining. I can recommend it to everyone who has an hour to kill and wants some comedic-spookiness. Butttt it’s nothing truly mind-blowing or an absolute “must-do”. Still! It’s lovely, fun and entertaining.
