Ah, Edinburgh! They don't call it "The Jekyll & Hyde City" for nothing. During the day, a respectable figure, with its astonishing architecture and wondrous history. But when the sun sets, it tells an entirely different story...

Hear all about the darker history of Edinburgh: murderers, thieves, cannibals, hangings and decapitations, witches, the Plague and streams of human waste. Learn about the most notorious citizens of Edinburgh and how ghost stories are born.

This is not a ghost tour: we don't need costumes or people jumping from behind the corners, Edinburgh's Dark History itself is enough to make your skin crawl. And oh, how we love to share it with our visitors...

My teenage son and I had a great evening with our very enjoyable guide, James, and his gruesome stories. He also really knows his stuff. Highly recommend this one.

I had a wonderful time on this tour, largely thanks to our guide, Robert. He was absolutely amazing—his knowledge was impressive, and he presented information in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand. The tour itself was perfectly structured. It was very informative without being overwhelming, and the way the subjects flowed seamlessly from one to the next made the entire experience feel cohesive and well-choreographed. It was clear a lot of thought went into the planning. My only wish is that the weather had been nicer so I could have fully enjoyed the outdoor portions, but that's hardly the tour's fault! It's a testament to Robert's skill that I still had a great time. I highly recommend this tour!

We took the Dark History tour yesterday and it was Great! James was an incredible guide. He made the gruesome stories super detailed yet still entertaining and really informative. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to join the Edinburgh Castle tour today, which was already on our list anyway. Laura was fantastic on this tour too, making it just as great. We warmly recommend both if you value engaging and very informative tours.
