4.00The guide is quite entertaining, unfortunately the sound system isn’t the best and we had difficulty hearing what she was saying at times. There were some facts shared and there was some acting. Overall it was fun.
We booked months in...

1.00We booked months in advance and were really excited. On the day of, we messaged them letting them know we would be a few minutes behind given the strike going on in the subway. We didn’t get a respond nor a notification saying the message was read. As we were pulling up to the meeting stop, literally 1 minute after our meeting time, the bus was pulling away. The bus that was behind them said we would have to contact customer service to book another day. We didn’t get a response from anyone, the communication is poor.
Hilarious!

4.00Great night-time short tour of London on a vintage bus. Lots of flashing/flickering lights on board, so be careful. We heard stories about Jack the Ripper, Sweeney Todd and Fanny of Cock Lane. Host Hugh Focker was hilarious (and had a nice bottom - he asked us to say something nice 🤣) Recommended.
Off the beaten path

5.00Hugh Faquer was exceptional. He was very engaging and humerous. Great history for those that have met a gruesome end in London. A lot of tongue in cheek and groan producing statements kept things fun. Highlybrevommend for those looking for something off the beaten path. Just don’t sit where they would store the dead bodies like we did. I think we brought a spirit back to our hotel with us. We’ll be leaving that with them when we retirn to the states. Thanks again, Hugh. Boo!
Really good fun tour

5.00Absolutely hilarious but weirdly also very informative - like a comedy night and history lesson rolled into one. Still chortling at the tale of Scratching Fanny of Cock Lane... Guide Hugh Focker should be on the stage!
Genuinely enjoyable

5.00This was a fun, scary way to see many of the London sites and to hear the haunted stories. Our ghost host was Hugh Focker, who was funny, spooky, and a great storyteller!
