Terrifying stories and terrifying sights - Our tour was amazing, as people who believe we feel energy and have seen apparitions, this tour was very good and honestly terrifying. My friend had a very physical reaction and I myself felt and saw many things. Our tour guide who was playing David Rizzio was very engaging and well informed. The tour was a 10/10 and while my friend would not go again (because she was so affected) I definitely would. We recommend and hope you also feel and see what we felt and saw.

Good time - Our guide was a young man in dressed character calling himself The Great Lafayette. For more than 90 minutes his antics and stories entertained and enlightened us. I and my friends enjoyed the tour.

Dark tales in the dark - John Kincain was really good, the stories was great and he knew how and when to apply the right amount of humor/sarcasm making the tour a lot interesting. Being a late one it does add to the tension of the places and stories being told. Highly recommended !!!

Very spooky, gruesome history of Edinburgh served up after dark. - Robbie Diggs was our guide, very entertaining, just enough theatre in it to make it more than a tour. Very knowledgable, engaging with us and th rest of the group. Only wish the tour was longer.

Amazing experience - We did the 9:15 tour with Robbie Diggs. Such a gentleman, and exactly what I was looking for from the tour. It was more entertaining and informative rather than scary. He explained everything in the best way possible and really connected with everyone in the group. We had an amazing experience.
