Great storyteller, awesome vibe - Great Tour with an enthusiastic Guide. We enjoyed Kierans energy and storytelling skills very much. It was great to get historical details of the city, mixed with a bit of horror and spooky ingredients as well as many laughs as a side dish if you will. Loved the group size, as we were able to talk to Kieran and get around well, not having to worry about not hearing enough.
A tip - the wind was strong on our tour, since it's all outside, dress slightly warmer than you'd usually do.
Thanks Kieran, for a great evening of history and spooky stories.

A memorable experience, highly informative and exciting! - I got everything I was looking for in a Dark History & Ghost tour, and 10 times more! Kieran is a super guy. His storytelling is immersive, compelling, suspenseful, yet never over-the-top. He does not shy away from the grisly details of tortures, public executions, hauntings, body snatchings, and sprinkles some lovely bits of gallows humour and sarcasm here and there. The stories are presented with careful attention to historic detail, and he gives an engaging, sensitive account of the political, religious and social dynamics of Scotland. He is enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge, and was happy to answer my questions about ghost hunting and more. I felt so welcomed, had so much fun and I learned so much! 10000% recommend. Thanks for having me, Kieran!

An experience not to be missed - The tour was one of the best experiences on our city trip. The mystical, sometimes spooky history of Edinburgh was told in a very exciting and lively way by the great and likeable storyteller Kieran. Many thanks again for this highly recommended experience and the perfect start to the night in this city.

Best tour and knowledge tour guide - Amazing experience with Keiron. We attended this tour last week. He is SO knowledgeable. The best tour guide we’ve had on our whole trip across Europe. The stories and dark history Keiron told us about was incredible. This tour made it so easy for us to go back in time and imagine the experiences the locals went though. Thank you so much Keiron!

Best ghost and history tour in Edinburgh - The tour with Kieran was one of our best experiences in Edinburgh. Kieran led us in a small group through the city at night and told us a lot of the people and the mysterious, ghostly and murderous times in Edinburgh. We were there live, so to say. Thank you very much, Kieran!
