Night tour of the old town
Our guide Federica accompanied us through the old town, telling us the history of wonderful Edinburgh with many historical references and, of course, legends and ghost stories. Truly two pleasant and interesting hours that allowed us to deepen our knowledge

Ghost and Edinburgh city center tour
Interesting tour, the guide Diego was great and friendly.
Suitable not only for fans of "ghosts" and the gothic theme, but it also covers history and visits some historical places in Edinburgh on which the guide proved to be knowledgeable.

Ghost tour
We took the tour with Dominga, a very good, engaging guide, told us many episodes of the most mysterious and disturbing history of Edinburgh with competence and narrative ability.
The tour ended in Greyfriars Cemetery, which is open all night, with a creepy atmosphere. A different way to learn about the history of a must-see city.
