Juniper was a great guide. Dramatic, funny, personable as she led the group to various sites and told us the history of the dark events that occurred there. She brought the tragedies to life, honoring these victims. I wish all my history teachers had been this good!
Super fun and informative tour. Was very glad I did this. The guide knew his stuff and kept it interesting. One of m Edinburgh highlights.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We are so delighted you enjoyed the Edinburgh Witches Tour and that the guide's knowledge made it a fun and interesting experience. It is so wonderful to hear this tour was one of your Edinburgh highlights! We’d love to welcome you back on one of our tours again soon!
My 13 year old, “If history was like this in school, I would never fall asleep!” We went on tour with Witch Juniper, who was vibrant and informative. We all found out which type of witch we were - which was a useful bonus.
Thank you so much for the fabulous review! This is so wonderful to hear from your 13 year old and certainly a great compliment for our guide, Witch Juniper. We are also delighted you found the tour both informative and engaging. We’d love to welcome you back on one of our tours again soon!
The tour guide was experienced, considerate, knowledgeable and made this interesting historical tour a lot of fun! Would definitely recommend – I was bewitched ;)
Thank you for your magical review! We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed your time with our guide on the Edinburgh Witches Tour. It is wonderful that you found the experience a lot of fun. Thank you for recommending us — we’d love to welcome you back to Edinburgh again soon!
It's very interesting and our tour guide Gale was very knowledgeable about the subject matter, it did feel a little rushed though but might have been because we had to go through crowds to get from one point to another.
Thank you for your review, Rianne! We are really pleased you joined the Edinburgh Witches Tour and that Gale's storytelling and knowledge made it an interesting tour for you. We do truly apologise if the tour felt rushed at times. During the popular Fringe Festival, maneuvering through the crowds can sometimes be a challenge. We always try to keep our coven close and it is certainly not our intention to rush at any moment. We are sorry if this affected your overall experience. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and hope to welcome you back again soon!
Great Tour! Gael was amazing!
Thank you for your kind words! We are delighted you enjoyed the Edinburgh Witches Tour and that Gale made it an amazing experience for you. We’d love to welcome you back on one of our tours again soon!
Lovely. Heard wonderful stories while taking a walk. Juniper is an engaging story teller. Only thing is that Viator has to be more specific with the meet up location. There are like about a dozen tours meeting up at that same spot and that same hour. Called the tour office and the person who answered the phone guide me to the right group and stayed with me on the phone until I found them! Highly recommended.
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted you had such a great time on the Edinburgh Witches Tour. Juniper will be so pleased to hear you enjoyed the storytelling - she has a wonderful way of keeping everyone involved while sharing Scotland's accused witch stories. We are sorry to hear that you had trouble finding the meeting point. On some days, this area can indeed get busy. Luckily you were able to get in touch with us and spot your witch guide on time. Thanks for recommending us - we’d love to welcome you back on one of our tours soon!
The subject of the tour includes some unpleasant history, but it managed to be both informative and entertaining. It was light and fun but in a way that respected the subject and raised awareness to it. Our guide was excellent
She was very knowledgeable and good fun Also very patient with kids who came up to her because of her outfit
My friend and I both left feeling we had learned a lot and got everything we expected out of this tour and more! So much history packed into such a short time. Thanks to Gail, our guide, we learned a lot! Both of us felt he hit just the right balance of playfulness and passion for the subject. The tour created a wonderful witchy and historical atmosphere which was just what we were looking for, thanks Gail!
