In the 19th century Necropolis Bus Company, a privately owned funeral bus service, fell victim to a tragic fire which destroyed their entire fleet of buses… except one. This bus was restored to its original design and today is used for the scariest sightseeing tour around London - The Ghost Bus Tour.

The Ghost Bus Tour is a popular and light hearted way to see London at night and the taketwo book has a two for one London voucher for this tour, allowing you to buy two tickets for the price of one. The bus is painted in the company's traditional colour of midnight black and includes ornamental and decorative features inside such as lamps and window curtains. The tour begins in Trafalgar Square and makes its way through selected London landmarks around the City, the West End and even goes as far as south of the River Thames. A huge variety of sites are visited during the tour including Whitehall, Smithfield, the Tower of London and Crossbones; exploring their mysterious history and dark past.

Contrasting from other London bus tours, this is a full on theatrical production as well; with sinister characters, a skeptical back story and an eerie soundtrack. There is an on-board conductor, played by a comedic actor who provides information about the sights the tour progresses. He also throws in some scary anecdotes during the tour, but they are constantly undermined by 'Mr. Hinge' - a cranky health and safety inspector with a flair for finding blood-spattered handkerchiefs and having violent mood swings. For those who wish to take part in traditional daytime bus tour around London, why not take a look at Premium Open Top Bus Tours, which explores the City in a vintage red double decker bus.

Much of the success of the tour is down to the acting skills and enthusiasm of the conductor. He is very entertaining and knowledgeable about the sites and their history. Expect some unexpected on board visitors mid way through the tour, all who add to the scariness and provide additional entertainment. It is the humour and rapport of the crew which make the Ghost Bus Tour so much more than a further tourist trap.

The whole tour lasts for an hour and 15 minutes, and is easy to get to with the nearest tube stations being Charing Cross or Embankment. Tickets cost £18 but with the taketwo book, you can buy one ticket for the tour and get another one free. The taketwo 2 for 1 London voucher and guidebook is an easy way to help save money when visiting the sites around the City, because you only pay for one when you taketwo. With over 80 vouchers in the book, find out how you can save money in and around London. There are also other great things to do in London such as a London open top bus tour, the London Bridge Experience and London Tombs, the WWT London Wetland Centre and more, all of which feature in the book.
