Step into the eerie heart of Edinburgh as your entertaining and charismatic guide welcomes you outside the ticket office on the Royal Mile, introducing their historical character and setting the scene for an unforgettable journey. Wander through the Old Town’s hidden squares, wynds, and closes while your guide shares chilling tales tied to each location. From grim crimes to dark legends, the stories bring the city’s past vividly to life, making every corner of the Old Town a stage for history and horror intertwined.
Crossing George IV Bridge, the tour continues in the infamous Greyfriars Kirkyard, reputedly the world’s most haunted cemetery. Hear spine-tingling tales of the loyal poltergeist, daring bodysnatchers who met more than they bargained for, and the notorious serial killers Burke and Hare. As midnight approaches, descend beneath South Bridge into the shadowy underground vaults, where eighteenth-century bridge arches meet seventeenth-century stonework and fireplaces, and the modern streets pass overhead through a skylight. Keep your senses sharp, as some long-departed souls are said to linger in these murky chambers. After 80 minutes of unforgettable sights and frights, your guide will lead you safely back to the ticket office… if you survive!

Great tour and the young lady who led the tour was extremely pleasant, professional and polite just don’t call her Morgan.;) A delightful time indeed! We were also able to take pics on the streets as well, going in and out of a tunnel.
What a fun tour! It brought us to some genuinely spooky places, and the stories to go along with them were entertaining. Our tour guide, known as Frederich, was charismatic and hilarious. Cannot recommend enough!
When my dad told me he had booked a ghost tour I was not very excited, surprisingly it ended up being one of the highlights of my trip. This is entirely due to our incredible tour guide Helen! This young lady was engaging, informative and downright hilarious. Our entire tour group was both rolling with laughter and screaming in terror at her antics, and we could not have left more impressed. The atmosphere and ambiance of the areas we explored were also excellent. If I could this tour (and especially Helen) more than 5 stars I would, highly recommend.
Went on the 9:15 tour our last night in Edinburgh. Our guide John Kincaid was witty, knowledgeable and an excellent story teller. We throughly enjoyed all of the places we visited and ended up at Banshee Labyrinth after per suggestion. It was a great way to spend our last night in Scotland and we got to go to some unique and interesting places we wouldn't have found before! We also has some strange things happen with our phones in the vaults that scared our nephew so much he thought we were pulling an elaborate prank on him!! Thank you for the great time and experience.
Absolutely LOVED our tour!! Our guide was fantastic, so funny and knowledgeable, and it was fascinating to see some areas of the city we wouldn’t have otherwise. Highly recommend!
We loved the tour! The atmosphere of the haunted Edinburgh made us discover a side we didn’t know and were eager to deepen. Dark and scary. Dr Knox was amazingly witty, funny, cheeky and playful, but also educational, professional and super helpful at the end. We really recommend the tour with him if you wanna have a spooky time and a great laugh.
Loved David rizzio! Very entertaining and kept us on our toes!
Very informative. Got a good, long tour around Edinburgh and underground. The guide (James Douglas) was a fantastic story teller and very funny. Definitely one for the adults and not if you’re easily offended!
The tour was amazing, informative and the right length. Our guide totally made the evening, he was quick witted and hilarious - not sure it would have been the same with a different host
Soldier Jock was a talented actor and host . He gave us his all and entertained us the whole time. He absolutely made the experience as great as it was. Loved it thank you.
