Hi, we went to the ghost and graveyard tour with Darren last night. We flew from Ireland Darren did not disappoint us!! He was funny, scary and so easy to listen too. Well done Darren!! He explained the history of Edinburgh so well and make it so exciting!!! 10/10 EmmaJane
Host is non responsive. My train was delayed. I inquired on what to do with 0 response. I called twice. Messaged on viator. I ran and made it to the meet up spot at 18:05 instead of 18:00. The meet spot wasn’t very clear. Still no response.
James is a very enthusiastic and fun host. There was a heartwarming story to start before the sordid stories kicked in. Walking distance was very minimal and the vaults were pretty cool. Not as comprehensive as the city walking tour but a fun way to spend 90 minutes in the evening.
Great tour seeing lots of sights we were curious about walking around ourselves before the tour - James answered all our questions and then some! He was an awesome guide - very knowledgeable and added some humor that lightened the mood!
Great fun tour. James was a fantastic guide.

Great tour. Diva was an excellent and entertaining guide. Definitely spooky so be aware. Would recommend.
James was a great guide, I was entertained the whole tour
Nick was an excellent tour guide. His knowledge and ability to keep the crowd engaged was top notch. Despite the occasional rain during the tour it was still a great time. The history of the vaults and graveyard was interesting.
