The Ghost Bus Tour is a unique comedy-horror theatrical experience and is rated suitable for ages 6 and up. While the show includes loud noises, sudden surprises, and tales of Edinburgh’s gruesome history, the overall tone is hilariously spooky, not genuinely terrifying. It’s the perfect amount of fright for older children, groups, and adults looking for family friendly Halloween activities in Edinburgh.

The core route, which passes Edinburgh’s most famous and haunted landmarks like the Edinburgh Castle and Greyfriars Kirkyard, remains the same. However, during the last two weeks of October, our ghoulish conductor amplifies the horror content and adds Halloween-specific commentary and extra theatrical surprises to enhance the spooky season atmosphere.
We strongly encourage passengers to embrace the spirit of the season! Feel free to wear your favorite Halloween costume or ghoulish attire. As per the old pagan traditions, some believe wearing a disguise is the best way to protect yourself from THEM. Regardless, please dress appropriately for the Edinburgh weather, as you will briefly step off the bus for a short section of the tour.

The full Edinburgh Ghost Tour experience lasts approximately 75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes), depending on central Edinburgh traffic. We recommend you allow for two hours in your schedule, and please remember to arrive 15-20 minutes early to secure your preferred seat on the Necrobus.

A Classic Halloween Routemaster, Reimagined for the Afterlife

Step aboard the infamous Necrobus—our classic 1960s Routemaster, lovingly restored and repurposed for the recently (and not-so-recently) deceased. This is the most atmospheric vehicle in Edinburgh for your Halloween night out!

Forget standard sightseeing. With plush gothic interiors, flickering lanterns, and a conductor who’s a little too familiar with the afterlife, your ride becomes a truly immersive experience. Your ghoulish guide will take you through Edinburgh’s cursed corners, revealing the chilling secrets behind the city’s beautiful façades, from royal executions to the restless spirits lurking in the shadows this October.
