Great spooky fun - Thoroughly enjoyed the ghost bus tour. Lots of interesting ghost stories, humour and interaction with the passengers. Very good acting from the conductor and bus driver. Would highly recommend. Only downside is that it ended, could have stayed on it all night!

More than just a 5 star experience - Visited last night 16th October 2025 and was a 100/100 experience for a first timer. Banter and all interaction was brilliant. Being from Glasgow (not being that Glaswegian) but the York Ghost Bus tour was far better than our one in Edinburgh. Will definitely be booking to come again

Fantastic - This has to be the fun way of getting a tour of York the tour begins and ends at York train station bus stop the bus is like the Harry Potter night bus and is so interesting and fun the host is funny and spooky at the same time the bus has fun lighting inside also has theatrical smoke to really give the spooky feel , the tour lasts about a hour and takes you through the most haunted parts of York the host tells you about the history and urban legend tails and cracks jokes along the way, well worth the money of the tour and could easily do it again 5*

Great tour! Comedy on point. - Great bus tour!!! Our conductor was hilarious. Fantastic routine. ARE YOU AI!!! I already knew a little bit about York, but he increased my knowledge and made me google a few things when I got back to the hotel for more information. Highly recommended!

Brilliant ghost bus tour - Fantastic time had on the ghost tour, the host Phil Graves and driver, Bob were great. A combination of history and dark humour was very entertaining for a range of ages in the group on the tour. Well worth the fee, value for money!

Disappointed - Had such high hopes for this experience but was really disappointing. Could hardly hear what the guy was saying as people were talking so loud. The kids looked bored and kept asking when it would finish. The "conductor" did his absolute best to keep energy high and I don't think he's to blame for poor material. I wouldn't do this trip again.
