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.

De gids was deskundig en meegaand. Ze zorgde ervoor dat iedereen de tour haalde. Daarna nam ze de toerist mee in het verhaal voor de lol.

Onze gids was David RIzzio - grofgebekt, oneerbiedig, camp en een zeer snelle wandelaar. Tussen de gruwelijke spookverhalen en macarbre moordverhalen door, vond hij ook nog de tijd om Amerikanen, Engelsen, J.K. Rowling, mensen die langzaam lopen, mensen die niet weten hoe ze van hun telefoon een zaklamp moeten maken, andere spooktochtleiders, zijn collega's, zijn ex, mensen in het algemeen... te beledigen. Een enorm vermakelijke avond.

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.

Wij zijn een groep van 8 vrienden op bezoek in Edinburgh en we hebben enorm genoten van de rondleiding met Cassandra. Ze is een heel levendige gids en heeft ons veel bijzondere verhalen verteld. Een geweldige ervaring.

Onze gids Linda was fantastisch! Ze wist zo veel over de geschiedenis van The Royal Mile en het kasteel. Ik heb echt genoten van de ervaring en zou het iedereen aanraden.

Het was erg leuk. Onze gids 'Agnes' was deskundig en vriendelijk en ondanks het slechte weer ging ze gewoon door en maakte ze er een leuke ervaring van.

Linda, onze gids, was erg aardig en presenteerde de informatie op een onderhoudende manier. Het was een erg koude, winderige dag, maar zij maakte het toch leuk.
