5.00Thanks to the weather, other people cancelled and I was lucky to get a private tour with Ross. Ross was an amazing guide, really interesting and with a talent to hook you into his stories. I highly recommend to book the tour around the night time, to finish the tour in the Greyfriar Kirkyard and experiencing the best atmosphere! I had a very good time during 90min. It’s totally worth the price
Good scary fun

5.00This is the first walking tour my daughters and I have ever been on. We had already been to some of Edingburgh's main attractions on our own. We really wanted to go on a haunted tour on this trip and came across Hauntedburgh Tours. This was the best decision. Our tour guide, Ross, was amazing! We not only got spooky lore but also some historical information that we could tie with the information that we gathered on our own. After spending our time with Ross and learning what we did about the city, I'm not gonna lie, we couldn't help but think if our hotel was haunted and had a bit of difficulty falling asleep. Next time we are in Edingburgh, we will definitely seek out Hauntedburgh Tours for more spooky lore and hopefully it will be some time around Halloween. Thanks Ross, loved your energy!!!!

5.00A thoroughly entertaining tour. Ross was very funny, knowledgeable and theatrical. Highly recommend this. £15 for a 90 minute tour and was worth much more than that.
A proper ghost tour with great storytelling!

5.00I love going on ghost tours, and after seeing a leaflet for this tour at my hotel I decided to book it. Ross was my tour guide, and what a talented storyteller he is! The tour was filled with gruesome tales, scary ghosts from different time periods, silly jokes, and it covered a nice route with lots to see. The tour took about an hour and a half, which was the perfect amount of time for me. The weather had been bad the entire day, making me the only person who was optimistic enough about the rain clearing up to book that particular timeslot. But a crowd of one whole person didn't stop Ross from pulling out all the theatrics of a proper ghost tour! I had a very enjoyable afternoon. I highly recommend booking this tour!
