Mark Rose-Christie's famous
Mystery Ghost Bus Tour
Many have taken the tours …
some have even come back alive!
Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria
June 04 2011
“I have to admit that even this hardened sceptic got a shiver down her spine” - Tracy Melass, TNT Travel Magazine, London
“For the sceptic who says there's no such thing as ghosts, Rose-Christie gives them something to think about” – Star
“Fiendishly Different ... You really get your money's worth” - The Citizen
“Top Seller at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown” - Die Burger
“Very Popular !” - SA City Life Magazine
“High Spirits & Lot's of Fun” - Argus
Inspired by the London Ghost Bus and Jack The Ripper tours in 1988, Mark Rose-Christie combined these concepts to launch The Mystery Ghost Bus Tours to South African audiences at the National Arts Festival (Grahamstown ) in 2001. Since then the tours have opened in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Pretoria & Port Elizabeth, with Durban and the Midlands Meander (Kwa-Zulu Natal) to open soon. Although we use tour coaches, this is actually a ‘theatre-on-wheels’ production, catering for both the Public and Groups (corporate events, team building, end-of-year functions, birthday parties & tour groups).
The Media and our Clients alike, have said that at “About half the price of the usual sight-seeing tours, and twice as long, The Mystery Ghost Bus Tour offers more than any other ghost tour worldwide”, which is as follows:
-
Starting Pub to get you into the Spirit !
-
Introduction about the History & Science of the Paranormal
-
Explanations of the many different types of ghosts
-
3 Dramatised Stories with Haunted Music & Eerie Sound Effects, played on the coach
-
Ride past many haunted, murder & mystery sites, with Four (4) Off-The-Bus stops as follows:
-
2 Pub & Grub Stops along the route, with entry into a dark mystery room at one of the pubs
-
Off-The-Bus stop to detect energy fields using dowsing rods (audience participation)
- Special Permission/Free Entry to an historical cemetery at midnight, with an ending that jolts even sceptics
- Instead of taking a Public Tour, get 30 people together to take a group tour and have the entire coach to YOURSELVES - for the SAME price per person.

Most of us dream about our retirement and how we will have time to do the things that we do not have time for during our working lives. However, most people will not realise their dreams, simply because they will not be able to afford to do so. In South Africa, less then 6% of people are able to retire financial independent. The adage of “Failing to plan is planning to fail” is most applicable to this area of financial planning.
The success of a retirement plan is largely dependent on how early in your life you start doing something about it. Terence Tobin (of My Money) is offering a free analysis that will assist you in determining a suitable retirement age and setting realistic income objectives. It aims at ensuring that you are able to maintain that standard of living throughout your retirement. This advice process concludes with the recommendation of options (both traditional and non-traditional) as an integral part of your retirement stategy.
