A Spooky, Hilarious Birthday Treat!

5.00I was treated to this tour for my birthday with my daughter, and it was a brilliantly spooky way to see London! This definitely isn't your average, dry bus tour; it’s a full-on immersive theater experience on wheels. The Host: Our conductor, Ben, was absolutely fabulous. He was hilarious and did a perfect job of blending grisly London history with dark, campy humor. The Vibe: The 1960s "Necrobus" is a total mood—black, gothic, and very atmospheric. The technical trickery on board (no spoilers!) kept us on our toes and definitely provided a few good jumps. It felt like a live-action version of "Horrible Histories" meets a comedy show. Room for Improvement: While the atmosphere is great, the bus itself could do with a few minor repairs to the decor. We noticed several lampshades were held together with masking tape, which took away from the "gothic" feel slightly. Timing: The tour was advertised to last 75 minutes, but we were actually back at the starting point within the hour. While the content was great, it felt a little shorter than expected. Overall, it's a fantastic night out if you want something a bit different. A huge thanks to Ben for making my birthday so memorable!
Waste of time and money

1.00We booked this as a way to drive around London, see sites where questionable activities may (or may not) have taken place; fully expecting a tongue in cheek narrative. This tour simply drove down a few streets, maybe in circles; and the guide told nonsensical stories. No attempt at pointing out significant geographical markers, sites or buildings. Boring and dumb. Waste of money and time.
Not a Lot of Ghost Stories

3.00The guide was great. Very engaging and great actor. However, I expected a lot more ghost stories considering how old London is. I have done quite a few ghost tours in the US that had more stories to share.

5.00Spooky, whitty, great fun. Our conductor Ben did a wonderful job by telling al sorts of stories about London, informing us on what we saw outside and acting to make sure we had a wonderful tour. Everybody onboard seemed to enjoy themselves. We certainly did. I highly recommend this tour as long as you can stand humour.
