A theatrical sightseeing trip that explores Edinburgh's darker side is the Edinburgh Ghost Bus trip. As you take the mobile ghost tour of Edinburgh, your eerie conductor takes you around the city on a vintage Routemaster bus from the 1960s. Discover the history of the plague, witchcraft, tomb robbery, and, of course, the spirits that call the most haunted city in Europe home. Discover Edinburgh's strange and dark secrets with this hilarious horror tour that takes you around the city.

While taking in the most well-known locations of Edinburgh, such as Edinburgh Castle, The New Town, Grassmarket, Greyfriar's Kirk, The Old Town, Holyrood Palace, and the Royal Mile, this sightseeing bus trip takes you through the gory past of the city. The Conductor will lead you to the locations of the killings, torturings, and executions—as well as the locations where some eerie ghosts are still present. Hear about the dark past of Edinburgh, from the days of Burke and Hare to the hundreds of women who were burned or drowned for being witches. The bus has surprises as well. Since it was originally used as a funeral bus, it is not surprising that the deceased may have left their mark on the bus.

Take pleasure in this eerie journey on the last remaining Necropolis Bus. Beginning as a private funeral bus service in the 19th century, the Necropolis Bus Company transported the deceased, pallbearers, and mourners to their final resting place. Lamps and window curtains are decorative elements on a Necropolis Routemaster bus painted in the iconic midnight black colour. A strange fire in 1967 devastated the whole fleet, with only one bus making it out alive. Are you going to?
