Go! - Lafayette was hilarious, informative and keeps you engaged! Couldn’t recommend enough! Shows you some interesting sites around Edinburgh with some grim facts that showcase the reality of living there back in the day. Such a fun little thing to add to your trip!

Lafayette, “The Magician” of Ghost Tourism - Lafayette was an incredible tour guide - engaging, knowledgeable, and funny! He kept the group moving and entertained. He also made personal connections with each person on the tour. It felt special and not your average cookie-cutter tour. What a wonderful, memorable first evening in Edinburgh! 10/10 - Highly recommend! ~Just a couple Ohioans (Megan & Neil)

Terrible Ghost Tour - I went with my family on Friday 13th December and it was terrible. I feel like I have been conned out of my money and my time. It was not interactive at all. We must of had a new tour guide but even if that was the case he should be fully trained. He kept repeating some of the same words and would hardly even interact with the group. Half way through about 6 other paying customers just left and oh my do I wish I did so I could have had that time back. I contacted the tour operator about my complaint and got a rubbish response from them so no wonder the tour was rubbish. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!
