Theatre, comedy, history, sightseeing tour rolled into one. Amazing experience from Hugh Fawk!

5.00Absolutely amazing experience with ‘Hugh Fawk’ ! There were only four people on board (it was a Tuesday, folks) but still, we were treated to a top notch intimate and essentially private quality tour and fabulous bit of theatre. All carried out by only Hugh Fawk. A fantastic way to see the big sights of London while on a limited timeframe, but also beefed up because of all the smaller sights ‘regular tours’ won’t show you. If you like history, this is a great gem. Hugh told cracking bad (ahem good) jokes while delivering on history an storytelling. Not just ghosts but stories about the Great Fire of London, passing by Fleet St, the Old Bailey, spots where Guy Fawkes met his end, where William Wallace met his end and so much more tales of significance. History come to life. Thanks for a fabulous time Hugh! Btw, in a time of contactless payment, bring cash if you can for a tip. This is our second ghost bus tour and we didn’t have any with us but wish we did. 10/10 would recommend!
Wonderful time.

5.00We loved this experience! It was an evening of murder and mystery coupled with tons of laughter!! Highly recommend people try for an evening. The bus itself is worth the ticket.
Phenomenal tour with Stan!

5.00Just did the tour tonight at 7:30pm and the whole tour was amazing! Full of wonderful stories and views of some of the main sights in London. What was best was our tour guide, Stan. He was so witty, incredibly funny (and yes, I enjoyed his puns, lol!), and very engaging. Loved the way he told the stories and kept us laughing, even whilst telling us about history and some darker materials. Honestly, Stan is absolutely fantastic and a phenomenal storyteller! I highly recommend him and this tour! #stantheman and #elizabeth on a specific funny street on the tour. 😜
Meh….it was HOT

3.00The bus has no AC and is scorching hot! You’re likely to die on the tour from heatstroke. But the guide was funny and we enjoyed almost the rest of the tour. The end was super cheesy though, they really need another better ending than a dumb movie with no point to it.
What a ghostly tour!

5.00This tour was so entertaining and the guide was wonderful. He would go up and down the stairs and kept everyone engaged! I highly recommend taking this tour!

2.00For the cost we expected more than 55 minutes and the bus we should have had was not available so on another where sound system didn’t work. Red hot and stuffy, we were disappointed
Good but hot

3.00The host of the tour was upbeat and friendly. However the bus is NOT air conditioned, which made for a VERY hot experience. Also the windows barely open. This is a very old bus.
Nice way to see London

5.00Following a last minute mix up with our booking I contacted customer services, who were excellent in both response time and in actually resolving the problem. The tour itself was interesting and highlighted a number of things which were new to me. Thank you.
Stan is the man!

5.00Heartily recommend Ghost Bus Tours - a great way to see the sights of the capital with a unique spooky twist. Can’t speak highly enough of Stan (the guide on the evening) - charismatic, energetic and made a real effort to make everyone on the tour feel included.
