Si ferma a: Royal Mile, Edimburgo EH1 2PB Scozia

Incontra la guida sul Royal Mile di Edimburgo, l'arteria principale della città vecchia, e inizia il tour a piedi del lato oscuro della città. Edimburgo brulica di strane attività, e ci sono storie di assassini, vampiri, mostri e persino cannibali che anche la gente del posto ricorda nervosamente.

Durata: 10 minuti

Si ferma a: North Bridge, Edimburgo Scozia

Segui la guida attraverso scuri cortili e inquietanti vicoli, e ascolta agghiaccianti storie di esecuzioni, omicidi, torture, fantasmi e stregoneria. Quindi, dirigiti verso il North Bridge, con la sua straordinaria storia, prima di salire verso Calton Hill.

Durata: 30 minuti

Si ferma a: Calton Hill, St. Andrews House 2 Regent Road, Edimburgo EH1 3DG Scozia

Senti i capelli rizzarsi sulla testa mentre la guida racconta storie reali di spargimenti di sangue e violenza, tra cui storie di processi alle streghe che si sono svolti qui. Scopri come il luogo è ancora oggi utilizzato per riti pagani come ad esempio l'Edinburgh Beltane Fire Festival, e osserva il panorama a 360 gradi della città.

Durata: 30 minuti

Si ferma a: Old Calton Burial Ground, 29 Waterloo Place, Edimburgo EH1 3BQ Scozia

Quindi, prosegui per l'Old Calton Burial Ground, uno degli agghiaccianti cimiteri di Edimburgo. Osserva l'imponente mausoleo che segna l'ultimo luogo di riposo di David Hume, che si dice abbia fatto un patto con il diavolo, e ascolta la storia dei famigerati ladri di cadaveri Burke e Hare.

Kaitlin was EXCEPTIONALLY knowledged on all things Edinburgh and brutal about its history. She didnt skip a beat and knew everything about Scotlands history. Utterly gruesome and unbelievable however thoroughly fascinating. Kaitlin was brilliant

The tour was great. Besides the fact that it was interesting to listen to stories about Edinburgh, our tour guide, Melanie, took storytelling to another level. Besides her obvious talent in the aforementioned, she also displayed her great singing and acting abilities, all the while showing that she really enjoys what she is doing. All in all, this was a great experience, we got to see and learn many captivating facts about the city and it`s history.

Alan was our tour guide and he is fantastic! Very knowledgeable and engaging. His skills at weaving the story of each place we stopped at allowed you to travel back in time. So very interesting and fun. Great way to learn about Edinburgh history albeit the dark side of it and also see the beauty of the city as you navigate the streets.

We loved this tour! Our tour guide, Alan, did a wonderful job telling us stories of all the creepy, dark history of Edinburgh. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Greg our tour guide was very knowledgeable on Edinburgh history. He provided a fun and informative tour with lots of humorous stories and acting. This is a great way to be guided to Calton Hill which is a bit of a walk from the Royal Mile but well worth the trip

Maybe 8 stops, with silly stories...barely based in facts. Start and end points at different locations, miles apart... would have been nice to know. Save your money....go to the museum.

We were a group of 4 adults, we joined the larger group after having dinner near by. The guide, Alistair, was energetic and animated, it was fun to listen to his tales. Lots of walking! This would not be a tour for someone who has trouble walking, there are hills up and down as well as steps on this tour. At the end we stopped at a kirk yard for some additional tales. Very fun, great guide!

We took this tour on our first night in Edinburgh - great way to figure out how Edinburgh in laid out. Our guide was Adam Gloser - who had great enthusiasm and was friendly to everyone on the tour.

Adam G was a fantastic tour guide. His stories were varied and engrossing and, we later found out, fully developed by Adam himself. We were told of murder, grave robbing, and vampires and how they related back to the beautiful and storied scenery of Edinburgh and Leith. What stood out the most about this tour was the sombre recounting of King James VI's obsession with the dark arts and Adam's respect for the thousands of people wrongfully accused of witchcraft and executed under the king's rule. Using this as a starting point, Adam weaved an incredibly heartfelt and authentic message of acceptance, which was revisited later on in the tour with equal passion. Between our host and the wonderful scenery, this was the best ghost tour I've ever had the pleasure of attending.

Adam made the tour really funny and informative. This was a great way to get a good lay of the city on my first day, plus learn some really interesting history of the city. Decided to add a few things to see on my trip based on what I learned surgeon's hall and arthur's seat. Would have totally missed out.
