2.00Had such high hopes for this experience but was really disappointing. Could hardly hear what the guy was saying as people were talking so loud. The kids looked bored and kept asking when it would finish. The "conductor" did his absolute best to keep energy high and I don't think he's to blame for poor material. I wouldn't do this trip again.
Ghostly fun

5.00When the conductor wished us a terrible journey as we boarded the bus we knew we were in for a fun evening. The corny jokes, jump scares and anecdotes made for an entertaining experience, spattered with history and ghost stories. Our conductor, Phil Graves, and driver, Bob, were great hosts and the end of the tour came far too early. An all round entertaining evening.
Good fun tour, and would...

3.00Visiting England and driving round a town on a Routemaster bus is an experience from a bygone era. Unfortunately the noisy bus engine was louder than some of the muffled tour commentary. The 'oh no, what's happening' moments take me back to 1980s universal studios and in this modern era, if you're trying to be funny, try harder. Overall the tour was a bit of fun, informative and a good way to spend an hour.
