Prepare for an Edinburgh tour like no other on a spooky Edinburgh day out...

Step aboard the Edinburgh Ghost Bus Tour for a spine-tingling ride through the city's eerie past. Your conductor, a master of the macabre, will guide you on this haunted journey aboard a classic 1960s Routemaster bus. With a blend of comedy and horror, it's a one-of-a-kind way to uncover Edinburgh's dark secrets.

Get ready to ride the sole surviving Necropolis Bus, a relic from the 19th century. Painted in midnight black and adorned with eerie décor, it's a journey into the unknown. Long ago, a fire consumed the entire fleet, leaving only the one bus intact. Do you dare to ride?

Cruise past iconic landmarks like Edinburgh Castle, Greyfriar's Kirk, and Holyrood Palace and hear tales of witches, grave robbers, and restless spirits. Discover the city's gruesome history, from the notorious Burke and Hare to the tragic fate of accused witches. And beware, this bus has its own ghostly surprises – once a funeral bus, it may still carry echoes of the departed...
