    Great little haunted tour for a good price. The double decker bus was really cool and decorated nicely for a ghost theme. It used to be a bus that was used to transport dead bodies to funerals. The host and driver were great hosts and were very funny.

  • Great evening out

    A little silly at times but a lot fun and good stories. The atmosphere on the bus was fun and family fun.

  • Fun tour (and good way to rest your feet!)

    We took this tour, led by Tommy Terror, and it was quite fun. I've seen the haunted tour buses on the street before and it was cool to see how they were decked out with the campy spooky ambiance. It was interesting driving around some of Edinburgh and even making a stop at one of the city's graveyards. We enjoyed Tommy's storytelling. We couldn't necessarily see a ton, but that's more due to Edinburgh having changed so much over hundreds of years than it was the tour.
