An in-depth historical perspective - Have you ever wondered the history aspect of the individuals that once walked the same path you’re currently walking in Edinburgh? Who they were? Their jobs, families, learn facts about... read more strangers that you’d never think about. The great thing about this tour was that we were able to be apart of history, and learn so much more than what we were expecting. The tour guide, Lydia, was friendly with a great sense of humor. She told us of unique places to visit if we wanted to eat great foods and get a real look at some of the bars/restaurants that incorporate the same underground vaults in the 1700’s. For the price, it is hard to beat for a 2 hour tour. If you want to add an extra experience to your visit, it is worth it.

Thanks Iona

Very engaging Dark History tour! - My 12 year old daughter and I loved this tour. We had chosen it carefully as we didn’t want a ghost tour, and this exceeded our expectations! Our guide Iona... read more was a very talented storyteller who brought all the history to life with her engaging “dark history” tales about witch trials, plagues and gravediggers! We learnt so much about the history of Edinburgh and thoroughly enjoyed it. Would 100% recommend this. Thanks Iona for a great tour!
