Ghost Bus Tours

«The Edinburgh Ghost Bus Tour is a theatrical sightseeing tour through the dark heart of the city.» —
This is a sightseeing bus tour on the gruesome history and ghosts of the city which I’ve seen around the last few months, so I’m thinking it’s relatively new or else I’ve just been oblivious to it. I thought it looked like it would be a pretty cool tour, offering something a bit different to the walking ghost tours, considering Edinburgh’s dark past. I saw a deal on amazon local so I was pretty excited about doing it. I think the usual price is £16 and I got the tickets for £10 each, which included a brochure but I think they give you one anyway?! £10 was more than enough for this tour, in my opinion. The bus is pretty funky looking, black on the outside and well dark enough on the inside too, with various leather seating and lamps around the place. There are curtains as well on the windows. The windows do get a lot of condensation on them so you have to wipe them pretty frequently to be able to see anything.
The tour itself was a bit disappointing. It didn’t help that there were a group of drunk people on the bus who were pretty irritating as they kept interrupting and trying to be funny, but the guy did handle them well. Other than that annoyance I just thought the information given was really brief. I did learn a few things, but it felt a bit sparse. I think I’m comparing it to other tours I’ve been on in Edinburgh and in London and it just falls short. I really like the idea of it and I think it could be improved a lot.
