As darkness falls, and the witching hour creeps ever closer, join us for a spine tingling, late night, 80 minute walking tour of Edinburgh’s Old Town and underground. The often brutal past of Scotland’s capital creates a wholly unique, grand but somewhat unsettling atmosphere which lends itself to evening ghost tours. Let one of our costumed guides, playing an infamous, historical character, lead you through the Old Town’s winding closes, show you the notoriously haunted Greyfriars Kirkyard and reveal one of Edinburgh’s darkest secrets – the underground vaults that snake beneath the city. Hear gory, but always entertaining and revealing, tales of ghosts, torture, executions, murder, cannibalism and witchcraft. The scares on this tour do not depend on jump scares or cheap tricks but good storytelling.

    Disgraceful tour guide dismissed us when we arrived when I asked if it was the right tour. Waved his hand at us and told us to see the boss and follow us on. Heard him ask if you have any questions just ask me 😠😠😠

    Very entertaining. Dr Knox's voice alone is creepy. The tour goes through the cemetery at night and then underground. He involved the whole group and made them laugh. Quick-witted, spontaneous, funny!

    Great fun. Really informative. You need comfy shoes as lots of walking. James Douglas you are a legend.

  • Mildly amusing at best....

    Mildly amusing at best. Nothing scary exciting or paranormal. Every tour all day long was sold out, passed by lots of other tour groups as well. All full --- but what is everyone doing or seeing or getting out of this? I don't know.... A mildly entertaining hour of stories, nothing more. We stopped infront of three doorways that would have been a cool entrance to the vaults below but walked passed each and instead entered through a random door on a busy street beside a pizza place. And when we emerged that's where the tour ended....
