Diva was the very best spookiest, witchiest ,scariest and downright weird guide a whole human live body could ever wish for. Blaaathch! You simply have to go on this tour you will be educated and terrified in one foul swooooooohooop. I ain't afraid of no goats!
Very interesting and insightful. Diva was extremely attentive and knowledgeable.
Not what I expected at all. I was hoping for macabre story telling not a comedy show. Disappointing.
Great experience and our guide, Jordan, was a really phenomenal storyteller! Some stories gave you the chill but not to frightening.
James was a great tour guide. Played the role and was very entertaining. We learnt a lot about this fascinating history of Edinburgh
Informative, entertaining but not too light or aiming just at laughs, well-timed and taking good care of all participants' needs and skills. Stewart was nice and gave the right amount if information and fun.
Diva was a great guide. Told interesting, amusing stories with just the right amount of suspense. Good locations. We all really liked the story about Greyfriars Bobby.
Great tour with a knowledgeable and humorous tour guide. Darren added a few scares for good measure as well. Very interesting tour
We very much enjoyed this tour, hosted by Louisa. Louisa was the perfect mix: history, mixed with a little bit of gruesome, some humor and a lot of respect for deceased. We were very impressed with how Louisa focused on the lives and living conditions of those relegated to the vaults, and how it must have been. The tour focused on Greyfriars Kirkyard and the vaults. Along the way, we also got to see how the city evolved, from the Flodden Wall to the bustling city it is now. We would gladly go on another tour next time we are in town! Thank you! (And Louisa—if you ever make it to the Upstate of South Carolina, we’ll treat you to some fried chicken! 😁)
Hi, we went to the ghost and graveyard tour with Darren last night. We flew from Ireland Darren did not disappoint us!! He was funny, scary and so easy to listen too. Well done Darren!! He explained the history of Edinburgh so well and make it so exciting!!! 10/10 EmmaJane
