Our guide Federica accompanied us through the old town, telling us the history of wonderful Edinburgh with many historical references and, of course, legends and ghost stories.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
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.
Very interesting and recommended to everyone.. the guide Diego Drago was excellent, explaining everything in a perfect and engaging way in his stories.. thanks to him we learned many other little curiosities about Edinburgh.
Great tour with Dominga, we had a great time! Very good guide and interesting tour.
Beautiful evening tour, I recommend everyone to do it
Made yesterday the ghost tour with Emanuele, fantastic guide, has captured our attention telling us with enthusiasm many anecdotes of the past! He was able to entertain even our boys! Emanuele top!
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.
The Dominga guide very prepared nice available, not at all trivial. Thanks from Ravenna Massi Valeria❤️🙏🏻
We did the tour with Dominga, and it was a fantastic experience! He told us Edinburgh's most mysterious stories with passion, attention and a lot of sympathy. Dominga is a really sunny and cheerful person, and made us feel immediately at ease. The tour was beautiful and super engaging!
