Comedy horror in York on a 1960s Routemaster bus, with a funny conductor and haunted landmarks for 75 minutes of chills.
“Amazing from start to finish. Both driver and tour guide top notch. Would highly recommend”
Ride the Necrobus for a one-hour comedy horror show around haunted London, with stops near West End, Westminster, and Tower Bridge.
“The tour was really entertaining and our host was hilarious and kept the tour engaging and interesting”
Mountebank Comedy Walk of Edinburgh is a 2-hour Old Town history comedy tour with Daniel Downie, kilted laughs, and Greyfriars sights.
“We had a blast with Daniel. We learned a lot and laughed even more. A highlight of our trip for sure. Don’t hesitate, just try it.”
1-hour Royal Albert Hall guided tour with royal boxes, William Morris details, and possible rehearsal sound. Door 12 meet-up.
“Our guide was very informative and knowledgeable and the tour of the hall was a wonderful experience”
Ride an ABBA Voyage branded electric coach from central London, get wristband and skip-the-line entry, then enjoy ABBA like never before.
“Time spent with my 2 daughters was priceless! Note to anyone staying in central London, give yourself at least 1.5 hrs to get to the meeting location because of traffic. We missed the bus but thankfully our Uber driver was able to drive us to the arena!!!”
London West End silent disco walking tour with headsets and show tunes. Hit Granby, Noel Coward, Leicester Square and Soho.
“If you are in London....Don't miss this..... We had an amazing experience learning lots of history, singing lots of great show songs and visiting many theatres... You will have a time to remember...”
See inside Shakespeare’s Globe with a guided tour of the recreated theatre, then upgrade for A Midsummer Night’s Dream themed afternoon tea.
“This is a must for Shakespeare fans, or fans of History of the area in general. The information that was shared was something I had never heard of. I was surprised by a lot of the details that were shared. I would love to visit again and watch an actual play.”
Silent disco drag queen walking tour in Soho and Fitzrovia with Ms Christina, clear headphones, and pop diva classics.
“Fabulous and fun walking tour conducted in a safe and inclusive environment. Would highly recommend as a quirky London experience.”
A Vegas-style cabaret in Blackpool with reserved table seating, non-stop live music, comedy, and dance across the decades.
“Fantastic night, great music and laughter. The staff were very helpful and friendly would definitely go back”
Dance through Edinburgh’s Royal Mile in a silent disco with radio headsets. A 1-hour tour, $25.65, rain-friendly fun.
“There aren’t enough words to describe how fun this was, a true highlight to our trip. I’d recommend to anyone.”
ABBA Voyage in London delivers a 1h40 tech concert with a live 10-piece band, motion-capture avatars, and seat choice from $68.25.
“We had a fab time at the concert, well worth the visit BUT BEWARE - our Viator tickets did not scan at the gate so we had to go to the ticket office across the road where there was quite a long queue of people all with ticket issues. It took so long to resolve that we missed the first song and didn't have time to have a leisurely drink - we were very hot and bothered by the time we sat down, which somewhat put a dampner of the evening.”
Adult comedy and magic at Smoke & Mirrors in Bristol. Ticketless check-in, 8:45 show, laughs, close-up magic, 18+ night out.
“Absolutely without doubt the best comedy/magic show I’ve been too & my partner proposed so a night we won’t ever forget.”
Pre-booked Comedy Station comedy for both Friday and Saturday nights in Blackpool, with a mobile ticket and a bar for drinks.
“If you enjoy 70's style comedy with 'jokes' and dog whistle humour which makes old fashioned Northern working men's clubs sound like a bastion of liberation, then get down to the Blackpool comedy club. If you can't get there then scour the car boot sales for an old Bernard Manning video and you won't be disappointed. As new and alternative as your gran's opinions on "foreigners" and Brexit. Get there late and leave early to avoid disappointment.”
See Wicked in London’s Apollo Victoria Theatre. Mobile ticket, dress circle or stalls, and a huge West End production for about 2h45.
“It was an amazing show, the music was great. Loved the costumes and set design. The champagne was good.”
Comedy and close-up magic in Bristol at Smoke & Mirrors. 1920s-style theatre, two magicians, laughs, and drinks available for $35.69.
“Whole experience was great, perfect anniversary treat for my husband. Enjoyed the comedy with the magic.”
