Departing from Bus Stop RE daily, directly outside York station, on Station Road, on the south side of The Principal York. If you can see The York Tap pub, you’re in the right area!

This activity will end right where it started.
Choose your preferred start time that best suits your schedule, and meet your creepy guide in central York for a journey through the city’s gruesome history. Board the ghost bus – a classic Routemaster bus with its own questionable history – grab a seat in the shadowy upper or lower deck, and peer out the window as you wind through the dark, narrow streets.  

As you ride, hear chilling tales of York’s most prolific hauntings, misdeeds and most sinister characters. You’ll pass infamous landmarks like Clifford’s Tower, York Minster and Dick Turpin's grave, and stop occasionally to get better acquainted with ghostly venues. By the end, you’ll have an intimate understanding of York’s sinister side, touted as one of the spookiest cities in the world!

Your tour returns to the departure point with time to warm your chilled soul at a local pub.

Brilliant entertaining bus ride which was funny and a bit spooky. Beautifully restored bus and charismatic staff made the experience memorable. It was a great way to see the city and included both driven and walking tour of the city. We will definitely be back! If you’re in York you need to book this!

I liked our tour guide Phil. I am Mexican so I did have a bit of trouble understanding his Yorkshire accent but I guess that’s on me. About an 80% I was able to understand and he was funny and put a lot of effort on his performance. Also the bus, the music, the setting. I really liked everything :).

I booked this for 6 members of my family and 2.5 hours before it was due to start I received a phone call to say it had been cancelled! Don’t know the reason for this. I couldn’t rearrange as we are returning home in a couple of days so I hope the refund process goes smoothly. My children were very disappointed!!

Our conductor 'Phil Graves' was really funny and engaging. I've been coming to York for many years and have learned a lot of its history, however this tour taught me new facts. A very fun way to learn and also a reminder that history repeats itself. Really enjoyed ourselves. Also, kudos to 'Phil' for staying in costume in 27 degree heat! Bob the driver deserves a shout too for adding to the entertainment. Would definitely book again next time we're in York.
