Extreme Paranormal Underground Ghost Tour in Edinburgh
Description
As darkness falls, and the witching hour creeps ever closer, join us for a spine tingling, late night, 80 minute walking tour of Edinburgh’s Old Town and underground. The often brutal past of Scotland’s capital creates a wholly unique, grand but somewhat unsettling atmosphere which lends itself to evening ghost tours. Let one of our costumed guides, playing an infamous, historical character, lead you through the Old Town’s winding closes, show you the notoriously haunted Greyfriars Kirkyard and reveal one of Edinburgh’s darkest secrets – the underground vaults that snake beneath the city. Hear gory, but always entertaining and revealing, tales of ghosts, torture, executions, murder, cannibalism and witchcraft. The scares on this tour do not depend on jump scares or cheap tricks but good storytelling.

Our guide Robbie Diggs was exceptional, tour was very cool would recommend to anyone visiting Edinburgh
Soldier Jack was amazing ! Great experience and atmosphere
Me and my girlfriend were visiting for the Fringe and ended up in front of a booth for these tours, so we decided to book the paranormal tour for our last night in Edinburgh. Our guide was David Rizzio, and he was super cool! He gave us some genuinely good spooks, plenty of laughs, and even shared some personal anecdotes along the way. I personally liked how transparent he was about some of the information and stories. Overall, a really fun evening with a great tour and a very nice guide. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for something a little different to do in Edinburgh!
Really enjoyed the tour - really good for history fans! Our guide was James - he was extremely funny and kept everyone on their toes!
We loved our visit, even if we didn't understand everything. Our English is very bad. The Lafayette guide managed to make this moment very pleasant for us despite everything.
Our guide John Kincaid was great; his way of telling stories and explaining everything throughout the tour was at once engaging, fascinating, and tinged with humor. He transported us through time in the city of Edinburgh, both in the underground and in the city itself!
Great experience! Family of four visiting from Dublin, had a great time. The tour is well balanced and not too gory for the kids, amount of walking was very reasonable. It was crowded, but that's expected. Lafayette was our charming guide, controlled the group and was very engaging. We all enjoyed it!
Layfayette rocks! Finally diagnosed my sister as the witch she is! Now our family can rest at ease knowing she will be brought to a swift and timely end.
Very fun experience, learnt a lot about the morbid history of Edinburgh. Very interesting to see what’s going on underneath the city, and the horrible things that happened there. Robbie Diggs was incredibly knowledgeable and was keen to learn what his guests had to share history wise. He now knows that Florida was discovered by the Spanish, not the English!
A short walk around town, given a few tales, done in 40mns.
