About The Ghost Bus Tours
The Ghost Bus Tour is a spooky, hilarious ride through London’s haunted history. With live actors, creepy tales and a gothic double-decker, it’s perfect for tweens, teens and brave parents. Expect laughs, jump scares and sights with a twist—it’s sightseeing, but not as you know it.
Top tip from the KidRated Team:
Book a late evening tour for maximum chills. London looks extra eerie after dark, and the shadows make everything spookier (in a fun way). Don’t forget to check for family ticket deals online before you go!
Quick Inspiration
Ages 11 and up. Under 10s might find it a bit too intense. For tweens and teens it’s funny, spooky and packed with historical twists.
Yes. You’re on a covered vintage Routemaster bus, so you’re always protected from the rain, but expect plenty of open-window chills as you tour London’s haunted streets.
Definitely – tours often sell out, especially during holidays and weekends.
Teens aged 12+ can ride alone, but most families enjoy the show together.
Mostly. Evening tours give the best spooky vibes. But if you’ve got younger kids, there are occasional afternoon family-friendly slots; check their schedule online before booking.
Sadly not. The bus is a vintage Routemaster with no step-free access.
Nope – use nearby loos at Charing Cross or Leicester Square before you board.
No, but there are plenty of family-friendly restaurants nearby for a pre- or post-ghost feast.
Right outside the spooky black bus – or if you’re brave, try to snap a mid-tour ghostly shot (without getting caught!).
