Linda was brilliant at giving insight and making it a fun and memorable experience. She went above and beyond to answer questions and make the day enjoyable. The tour was done really well with it starting outside the castle and touring through the castle walls and Linda finding quiet locations to give information so we could all hear. Would definitely recommend.

La guía era muy competente y servicial. Se aseguró de que todo el mundo hiciera la visita. También involucró a los turistas en la historia para que se divirtieran.

Nuestro guía era David RIzzio: malhablado, irreverente, campechano y muy rápido caminando. Entre espeluznantes historias de fantasmas y macabros asesinatos, también encontró tiempo para insultar a los americanos, a los ingleses, a J.K. Rowling, a la gente que camina despacio, a los que no saben convertir sus teléfonos en linternas, a otros operadores de tours de fantasmas, a sus colegas, a su ex, a la gente en general... Una velada muy entretenida.

Nos encantó tener a Frederick (twink) como guía, nos explicó todo muy bien y tuvimos algunas conversaciones interesantes. Recomiendo encarecidamente este tour y puedes considerarte afortunado si te toca Frederick como guía. Nos lo pasamos genial y queríamos volver a dar las gracias a Frederick por nuestra increíble visita. Diviértete en las bóvedas :)

Somos un grupo de ocho amigos que estamos visitando Edimburgo y nos ha encantado la visita guiada con Cassandra. Es una guía muy animada y nos ha contado muchas historias extraordinarias. Una experiencia fantástica.

¡Nuestra guía Linda fue fantástica! Sabía muchísimo sobre la historia de la Royal Mile y el castillo. Disfruté mucho de la experiencia y la recomiendo encarecidamente.

Highlights: Edinburgh’s story in two layers — a guided walk around Edinburgh Castle, then a ghost tour through Old Town alleys and into the South Bridge Underground. Edinburgh Castle: Entry included with a 45-min express English-guided tour (outside the castle), plus time to explore independently after. Edinburgh Underground Ghost Tour: English-speaking guide leads you past key Old Town stops, ending with an underground visit beneath South Bridge. Do both on the same day if you like — the castle visit includes free time after the guided portion, so you’re not rushed once you’re inside.Additional Highlights:

Inside Edinburgh Castle, explore on your own after the guided exterior walk — including spaces like the Great Hall and St. Margaret’s Chapel.

The ghost tour route takes in St. Giles Cathedral and Greyfriars Kirkyard before heading underground.

In the South Bridge Underground, you’ll see original bridge arches, walls, and doorways from former houses — with modern pavement visible through a skylight.

Edinburgh’s big headline landmark, then the city’s ghost stories underground — two sides of Old Town in one booking.

Getting started Start at the meeting point listed on your voucher for each experience. Your guide checks you in and leads the group through the route. Expect security checks at Edinburgh Castle, and dress for changeable weather.

What to expect

You begin with a short, structured guided walk around the castle exterior — built to give you the story and layout fast. After that, you go inside with your entry ticket and explore at your own pace.

Features

Castle Rock viewpoints that look out across Edinburgh’s rooftops.

Independent time inside to visit spaces like the Great Hall and St. Margaret’s Chapel.

A digital city audio tour to keep exploring beyond the castle walls.

What to expect

The tone shifts as you follow your guide through Old Town alleys and stops tied to Edinburgh’s darker history. The visit ends beneath the city, inside the South Bridge Underground.

Features

Walk-by storytelling at landmarks like St. Giles Cathedral.

Greyfriars Kirkyard tales of poltergeists, body snatchers, and Greyfriars Bobby.

Underground rooms and passages where you can make out original arches, walls, and old doorways.
