Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled departure to secure your preferred seat, as seating is first-come, first-served.
- Since the bus cannot wait for latecomers, ensure you have ample time to reach the departure point, especially during busy Halloween periods.
- While the tour is comedy-horror, be prepared for jump scares and loud noises; it may not be suitable for very young children or sensitive guide dogs.
- Book tickets in advance, especially for Halloween dates, as tours often sell out and cash payments are not accepted at the bus stop.
- Consider dressing in a disguise or as a demon, as suggested, to potentially protect yourself from the 'entities' encountered on the tour.
