Soldier John’s enthusiasm made the tour a success. It really drew you into Edinburgh’s ghost stories. Because you were so engrossed, you momentarily forgot it was a ghost tour, and the jump scares sometimes came completely out of the blue.
All in all, definitely worth checking out if you’re visiting Edinburgh.

This is a great tour, even in busy Edinburgh streets during the hight of the season. The tour guide Cassandra was just loud enough, very enthusiastic, and fun to follow. She made the storys come alive and her sense of humour was spot on for a ghost tour. We liked this tour a lot, just the right combo of fun and scary.

Very informative guide, I loved how you outed my witchy wife Lynne and Texan family Buttercup. Loved the way the guide interweved history and the area we were stood in. Thankyou Lafayette aka Bob, Laurence and every other name he was called.

Very short and sweet tour. Tells you everything about scotch whiskey. Staff are very cordial. We reached 30 mins late but we were easily accommodated in the next tour. At the end of the tour, you also get to taste some single malt and you can take the glass home as a souvenir.

I really enjoyed this tour. It was engaging and well designed, with impressive digital elements that made the experience both informative and entertaining. The tour appeals to all the senses—you can see, smell, learn about, and, of course, taste the whisky. The only small downside was that by the end of the tour I had developed a bit of a headache, probably from all the sensory stimulation and whisky tasting. Nevertheless, I would definitely recommend it, especially to anyone interested in Scotch whisky and its history. 🥃😊
