Dare to explore the dark side of one of London's most beautiful locations? This haunted walking tour takes you on a journey through the 15th-century town of Greenwich, where spectres and spooks still haunt the historic streets. Uncover its dark past and discover some of London's most terrifying ghost stories. Your two-hour spooky adventure begins beneath the masts of the famous Cutty Sark. Here, you'll learn the ship's complete history and the poetic inspiration for its name from the respected poet, Rabbie Burns. From there, we'll walk the ancient banks of the River Thames, a path once trodden over the centuries by lords, merchants, and pirates. As we continue, the ghoulish tales begin. At the impressive Trafalgar pub, which offers spectacular views of the O2 Arena, you'll learn of its chilling past. Prepare to hear unsettling local legends, from the hitchhiker who vanishes into thin air to the disastrous final voyage of the ship Terror and its missing crew. We'll also uncover the gruesome end of an Archbishop of Canterbury at the hands of Vikings. If you're looking for a fun and spooky evening exploring one of London's most scenic areas, this Greenwich ghost tour is for you. But be warned as you walk the docklands... you never know what goes bump in the night, apart from the boats.

Our guide was really awesome, friendly and knowledgeable.

Wow! What a brilliant tour we had. The fantastic Jamie intrigued us with tales of past and present. The Interactive and interesting tour around Greenwich was a brilliant activity for me and my mum. He answered all our questions and was very knowledgable. We were thoroughly entertained throughout! Thankyou where now tours.
Dan
An excellent tour and engaging guide! I’ve lived locally for years and still learned some new facts and thoroughly enjoyed the stories. Our guide was a great story teller who did a wonderful job of bringing some of the spooky tales of Greenwich to life. Bonus points for securing us a discounted pint at the end of a very cold and windy tour!

Enjoyed the tour so much I went on it a second time, the first time we had Stan, he was brilliant and made the tour exciting and fun, the second time we had Hugh who was hilarious and had everyone laughing with his antics, I recommend going on the tour and would definitely go a 3rd time! Thanks for making both evenings entertaining 😁

We went on the Ghost Bus Tour, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! Our tour guide, Ben, and driver, Chris, were absolutely fantastic. The tour was not just spooky and educational, but also hilarious — I couldn’t stop laughing and smiling the entire time.The bus itself was clean, comfortable, and perfectly atmospheric for a ghostly adventure. Both Ben and Chris were so friendly, sweet, and engaging, making the night even more memorable. I’d definitely recommend arriving early to grab a good seat, because this is one ride you don’t want to miss! I do recommend bringing some holy water though!

I visited London with 3 friends for a birthday celebration at the weekend. Fantastic original tour. We wanted to try something a bit different. I found the Ghost bus tour on Google and saw the reviews so we went ahead and booked it. Our tour guide Hugh Focker was marvelous. Very entertaining. Full of lots of interesting and grusoome facts. He moved around the bus and interacted with the passengers. We had a good giggle chatting to him. We drove round some of the main sites. We saw Trafalgar Square, had a very good view of Big Ben, drove along the river. I would highly recommend it. We all had so much fun.
Alison
Full disclosure, I’m a complete sceptic and only booked this tour as I was at a loose end when the theatre performance I’d booked got cancelled. It turned out to be the highlight of my trip to Greenwich. Highly entertaining and engaging from start to finish with an excellent guide. Highly recommend this tour.
Ellie
Fantastic from start to finish! Intriguing stories, brilliantly told and Jamie definitely made the most of the walking locations. The 2 hours flew by!
Rachael
This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to London! Our actor, Cedric Burke, was hilarious and very knowledgeable about the history of London. It was wonderful getting to see the different areas that we hadn't been to yet from the 2nd story of the bus and seeing the city at sunset was beautiful. I highly recommend the ghost bus tour!
Deanna
I absolutely loved this experience!!!! We had an issue with our reservation (our own fault) and they were very understanding/helped work with us to find a solution. Very much appreciated that. Cedric was HILARIOUS. Seriously, get your butts on this tour. It's a great way to see the city, hear fun, and ghoulish facts about the city-frankly, I was thoroughly entertained the ENTIRE time. Thank you so much! Keep up the good work 🖤
