Prepare to be scared silly on a 75 minute ghost bus tour around Edinburgh’s ghoulish haunts. Under the guidance of a creepy onboard conductor, cruise around Edinburgh’s most terrifying and impressive sights, such as Greyfriars Kirk, Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile.

    This was an excellent tour and our guide was hilarious. He had so many interesting/creepy stories of Edinburgh but he was also quite funny. I believe his name was Hugh. I would definitely recommend this to anybody wanting to know some of the darker history of Edinburgh.

    The bus host was rude, racist, and aggressive; he even caused several passengers to get off before the end of the trip.

  • Fun tour, enjoyed...
