We have prepared Liverpool history tours related to The Beatles, the evolution and secrets of the city and its emblematic streets, economic crises, Football and more. In Edinburgh we offer tours of the Old Town and New Town, tours of Calton Hill and the Castle, talking about Harry Potter, ghosts, and curiosities.

Tour description

Do you dare to discover the other side of Edinburgh? This city, known for its medieval charm and fascinating history, hides a dark and mysterious side.

The streets you walk by day transform into scenes of haunting legends and lost souls when night falls. On this tour, we'll delve into the city's most haunting stories, where ghosts not only haunt history... but seem to be waiting for you to discover them!

Notice to the brave… and the fearful:

If you love hearing the bloody, spooky, and ghostly stories of a city, this tour is for you!

Prepare to hear some of Edinburgh's most terrifying stories, learn its most disturbing legends, and, if you're gifted, maybe even meet one of its ghosts. (We can't guarantee it, but you never know.)

However, if you prefer a more relaxed tour, without reference to those dark, bloody, and ghostly stories, we recommend our morning tours. Remember, although we'll cover many historical sites, this is a themed tour.

It's important to know that this tour is NOT dramatized, nor does it go into hidden areas of the city such as Mary King's Close or the Southbridge Vaults.
