Great family tour - Went with our 7 year old and it hit the spot. Creepy and funny without being too scary. Lots of grizzly facts about Edinburgh and a stop at the city’s oldest graveyard to learn about body snatching. Tommy Terror and Uncle Angus were excellent

A Spooky Gem - So glad we took in one last activity before we went home. We learned so much and laughed so hard on this wee trip around the city, and went home full of spooky stories in our heads. If you have an hour and a bit to spare, this is a great way of combining the sights, having a giggle, and learning. The guide and driver were fab, and I really think you should see how great it is for yourself :)

Just okay - The tour was okay overall, informative, and interactive. However, I felt it could have been much more. Didn't feel it was worth the price in all honesty.

When we got off the first... - When we got off the first stop we just never returned. It was awful, couldn't listen to that man anymore. Didn't even find him funny

AVOID 🤢 - Overpriced one actor on a bus shouting into a microphone. Two occasions the tour gide flicked on and of the lamps and turned on a fog machine to create fog effect. Got out at a graveyard for ten minuets and stood at the entrance. He kept saying to look outside at the 'ghosts' and there was nobody there, too cheap to pay other actors to get in on the act. Very dissipointed of this rubbish. Do not reccomend going.
