Excellent experience with Sara!

Published on Jul, 2024

Sara was fantastic and tailored our ghost and legends tour perfectly to our group (3 adults/1 child), including an abundance of Harry Potter facts and trivia. We would definitely recommend this experience if you’re looking for something a little different but still loaded with historical facts & finds from a local who loves her city!

Excellent tour

Evelyn was a fantastic tour guide! It was an extremely interesting tour and well worth the money spent.

Awesome tour and tour guide. Very enjoyable!!!

Published on Apr, 2022

We really enjoyed this tour, the personal touch and information made the experience so much better. Our tour guide, Svend, did an outstanding job. He is gifted story teller and would recommend him to anyone. Very personable and genuinely nice.

Spooky tour

Published on Sep, 2021

Sara was a great guide and very informative. She showed us loads of locations that we wouldn't have seen. A bit creepy walking round grave yards in the misty dark weather!

Spooky and fun ghost tour in Edinburgh

Published on Jun, 2021

Being a fan of ghost tales, I knew I wanted to discover Edinburgh's dark side, and Evelyn was the perfect guide to do so. Evelyn got us hooked and spooked since the beginning in an informative and real way, without a need to resource to theatrical measures. The spooky tour was a highlight of my time in Edinburgh, and I highly recommend it to others that want to meet an authentic local with an interesting background like Evelyn.
