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...

5.00This was a very enjoyable two hours with Jack which my partner thoroughly enjoyed as she is retired medical professional! The seamier side of Edinburgh's history was very well presented, including what happens with those, 'nasty' inconveniences of existence in a city, as well as the fateful occurrences that befell some prominent citizens and some less prominent as well. Great fun!
Lovably unsettling tour

5.00Laura was lovely and totally right- you don't need ghost stories to get spooked because telling about humans is unsettling enough as is:) glad we have a bit more laws than we used to. She told about torture, disease, fixes for the disease, gravedigging, punishments and witch hunting. The way she talked gave me the impression she totally read her sources.
Fantastic tour of the Old...

5.00We had an amazing time learning about the dark history of Edinburgh. There are so many windows into Edinburgh’s history hidden in plain sight that you just walk over or walk past none the wiser. This tour explained so much more than a guidebook and shone a light into Edinburgh’s gruesome past. The tour is accessible to people of all abilities. Our local tour guide Robert (Fergusson - not his surname but he’ll get the joke if he reads this) was very knowledgable and funny and kept everyone interested and captivated throughout the tour, and his harmonica playing is pretty good too. The tour was so good and we were so busy listening that we forgot to take photos! Highly recommended.

5.00This was a really interesting history tour. No gimmicks as stated but if you find the darker side of history fascinating, you'll like this tour. Our guide, James, was great at creating a mental image of the times. Quite entertaining.
