It was very funny, the history told was interesting and Edgar was excellent. Bob's driving was a little scary but it all added to the show. I would highly recommend!

funny and a little bumpy! 😆 a fun way to spend an hour of our evening and see some sights of York just off the beaten track. not at all scary, but a little jumpy and bumpy. Well carried out.

Full description

Let the darker side of York's history send a chill down your spine as you discover the city’s dark and terrible secrets. Board the Necrobus and get ready to embark on a 75-minute theatrical sightseeing tour.

Enjoy a comedy horror journey around York's seedier past as your creepy conductor shows you the sights from a classic 1960s Routemaster bus. The on-board actors and eerily decorated bus will ensure you have the spookiest ride in town.

Learn about the sinister side of many of York's most famous landmarks including Clifford’s Tower, York Minster, and Dick Turpin's grave. Let your imagination run wild as you hear about the ghosts that reside within the medieval walls of one of England's spookiest cities.
