The World Famous Underground Ghost Tour
Description
Experience the world's most haunted city on a ghost tour of Edinburgh and be spooked by one of the city's most infamous sons as they lead you around the dark side of the Old Town. Discover the hidden wynds (alleys) off the Royal Mile and hear some of Edinburgh’s horrifying secrets. Then, visit what is regarded as the most haunted graveyard in the world at "Greyfriars Kirkyard." Finally, go deep underground and explore the Edinburgh Vaults beneath the streets. Completed in 1788, the series of chambers were used to house taverns and as storage space for illicit material, including the bodies of people killed by serial killers Burke and Hare for their medical experiments. Journey through over 400 years of history and hear terrifying true tales of hangings, torture, murders and witchcraft. Shiver at the weird noises and unexplained smells that make an appearance after dark!

Great experience made even better by the guide
John kincaid the tour guide was spot on, his knowledge and story telling was superb and to add to it he was also funny... highly recommended 👌
David Rizzio was our guide, he was absolutely amazing & made the tour much more interesting & funny. Worth every penny ..would highly recommend!
I really liked the tour, it was really fun and had a funny guide (David), would highly recommend to book the ghost underground tour since you learn a lot of the darker history of Edinburgh and especially get to visit lots of places
Really great guide (Robbie Diggs), and we had a fun time. It was very interesting. However, for something presented as a ghost tour, I was expecting more than one reference to ghosts.
We had Robbie Diggs as our tour guide, he had a lovely pace, really enticed us with his plethora of knowledge and even cracked a few good jokes. He had a lovely presence and kind personality. We learnt a lot from this tour would recommend!
