Famous Underground Ghost Tour

With over 400 years of history, our guides will entertain you with the terrifyingly true tales of ghosts, hangings, torture, murders and witchcraft all connected to our Underground.

Our Old Town & Underground Ghost Tours are walking tours led by a professional guide in full period costume. You will walk around some of Edinburgh’s most historically fascinating Old Town Closes. Our guides will overdose you with historical facts and stories of Edinburgh’s dark past, with the odd bad joke chucked in from time to time.

On a tight budget? Don’t worry – this walking tour is our most affordable and will still scare the living daylights out of you!

Ghosts, torture, death and horror … Is there any better way to start your evening?
