We took the tour with Dominga, a very good, engaging guide, told us many episodes of the most mysterious and disturbing history of Edinburgh with competence and narrative ability. The tour ended in Greyfriars Cemetery, which is open all night, with a creepy atmosphere. A different way to learn about the history of a must-see city.

We did the tour with Dominga, and it was a fantastic experience! He told us Edinburgh's most mysterious stories with passion, attention and a lot of sympathy. Dominga is a really sunny and cheerful person, and made us feel immediately at ease. The tour was beautiful and super engaging!
