Our guide was Alison Pearson, and the tour was in Spanish—it was the best experience we had in Edinburgh! Alison explained Edinburgh's history in a way that was simple, fun, and never boring; she really knows how to create an atmospheric mood when telling ghost stories. We couldn't have asked for anything better! Heartfelt thanks, Alison—we’ll never forget this wonderful experience! The first shout-out goes to the customer service: this tour operator has a physical location on the Royal Mile, so we were able to book the activity in person—quickly and easily—just before it started, with the help of a very kind and friendly guy (we’d recently had a bad experience with GetYourGuide, where support from other tour operators was non-existent). Great job, everyone! Español Alison Pearson fue nuestra guía y el recorrido se realizó en español; ¡fue la mejor experiencia que tuvimos en Edimburgo! Alison compartió la historia de la ciudad de una manera sencilla, entretenida y nunca aburrida; realmente sabe cómo crear la atmósfera adecuada al contar historias de fantasmas. ¡No podríamos haber pedido nada mejor! Un agradecimiento sincero a Alison: ¡jamás olvidaremos esta experiencia maravillosa! Mención especial merece el servicio de atención al cliente: la agencia cuenta con un local físico en la Royal Mile, por lo que pudimos reservar la actividad en persona —de forma rápida y sencilla— justo antes de que comenzara, gracias a la ayuda de un joven muy amable y simpático (veníamos de una mala experiencia con GetYourGuide, donde la asistencia de otros operadores había sido inexistente). ¡Excelente trabajo de todo el equipo!
John Kincaid was an excellent guide! Knowledgeable, funny and in character. Ending in Greyfriars Kirk was a highlight.
The tour was really interesting and entertaining. John Kincaid was our guide. He was great - he knew his stuff and has a good sense of humour to keep your attention. And he spoke loud and clear for the whole group to hear. Highly recommend
We had the most fun, our guide played David zizzio and brought so much personality to the tour that we were entertained the entire time. We learnt lots while exploring and I couldn’t recommend this enough to anyone
What a spectacular tour, we had chills, laughter and learnt a bulk of Scottish history. Our tour guide, soldier jack performed the show of a life time and we could not have been more impressed
John was fantastic, 10/10. Kind, patient, hilarious and giving delightful Captain Jack Sparrow energy. Loved it.
John Kincaid was awesome, please pay him
David Rizzio was our guide. He made the tour perfect and complete. It's a pity I only can give 5 stars. He deserved 5 + Must do for every ghost tour lover who visits Edinburgh
The tour itself wasn't much of a ghost tour. There was good storytelling, and interesting sights, but a lot of things said for shock value and grade school humor.
We had the tour guide Lafayette who was great!! Super fun and engaging and a great guide!
