Excellent ghost walk! - Our guide was Maggie Dickson and she was brilliant! Very knowledgeable & entertaining. We really enjoyed how she made it interactive with the group; getting us involved. Helped the group relax together. It was a great way to explore parts of the city we hadn’t been to, especially if you like history & ghost stories! A highlight was the stop at Greyfriars Kirkyard & George Mackenzie‘s crypt. Creepy! We loved having things pointed out that lay in plain sight throughout the tour. Super interesting! One of my favourite things about Edinburgh is that it celebrates its history, warts & all. Highly recommend this tour! Excellent guide & great value for money.

Knox The Man - This experience was truly enjoyable because of the actor known as Dr Robert Knox. He was hilarious, professional and knowledgeable and stayed in character throughout the entire tour. A very well prepared actor loving what he does.

Shockingly rubbish, over priced & false advertising - Went for 10 year anniversary differently as absolutely rubbish. Do not book. Over priced, false advertising and no jump scares. Avoid at all cost.
