As Blackpool Heritage Tram Tours continue to change and adapt their offering, a programme of special “themed” tours have recently been announced – including the return of the popular Ghost Tour along with Afternoon Tea trams and probably most of interest to readers of this website, Evening Tours along the Promenade.
These themed tours are on top of the previously announced standard Promenade and Coastal Tours which started from 29th May.
