Cons:

• "The guide was making inappropriate jokes while saying it's a family tour.... he was shouting too much, trying to make something out of nothing."
• "I am so thoroughly disappointed in this pathetic excuse of a ghost tour. All of the sights and information were basic, tourist facts with very little to do with actual hauntings."
• "Really poor service paid for tickets then removed from bus. Then said it was a mistake and put us back on waited on bus for 15 minutes then told it was cancelled."

Cons:

• "I’ve given 2 stars for effort. But this is purely based on pity. On every other level - this was awful."
• "The main downside is the awful traffic in central London which occasionally interrupts the flow."
• "This is way overrated. Effects were too loud and took away from the stories."
• "The first time we tried to go on this tour we were told at the very last minute tour cancelled bus stuck in traffic?. Company rebooked 2 weeks later no apologies."
• "I can not believe that I actually paid for this. It was boring beyond belief."
• "Very disappointing. Acting was fine, actors were nice, but that's just a tour around London."
• "Oh dear.... This is the second Ghost bus tour we have done...the first being in York. Had high hopes because York was so good...sadly this one did not live up to expectations. £50 for two adults...on the bus which was half empty..."
