More entertaining than anticipated

4.00Most of the tour was funny and informative. The last 10 minutes too over the top and wasn’t an enjoyable way to end. This, plus the host begging for a tip as you get off the bus knocked this review down to a 4. Get there earlier than they tell you. We arrived 20 minutes before our start time and barely got seats on the top level. Overall, not bad for the rate we paid.

5.00It was not what I expected but I was nicely surprised. Our guide Stan Broker was funny and informative and my 8 year old son absolutely loved and wants to go again.

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
Stephen S,Mar 30, 2026

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.

Bus ghost tour 28/3

4.00Overall the tour was good, could do with a few more ghost stories, but some great history knowledge and Ben was a good ‘conductor’, very entertaining, there was never a quiet or dull moment (unless Ben was possessed)
