The Ghost Bus Tours

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

What age is The Ghost Bus Tour best for?

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.

Is it good for a rainy day?

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.

Do I need to book The Ghost Bus Tour in advance?

Definitely – tours often sell out, especially during holidays and weekends.

Can kids ride without parents?

Teens aged 12+ can ride alone, but most families enjoy the show together.

Is it only in the evenings?

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.

Is it wheelchair or buggy accessible?

Sadly not. The bus is a vintage Routemaster with no step-free access.

Are there toilets on the bus?

Nope – use nearby loos at Charing Cross or Leicester Square before you board.

Is there food or drink onboard?

No, but there are plenty of family-friendly restaurants nearby for a pre- or post-ghost feast.

Where’s the best spot for a selfie?

Right outside the spooky black bus – or if you’re brave, try to snap a mid-tour ghostly shot (without getting caught!).
