1.5-hour haunted walking tour in Edinburgh, with Greyfriars Kirkyard and entry to the Edinburgh Vaults under South Bridge.
“The tour was very informative and fun. Our tour guide Jordan was whitty and kept the atmosphere fun and spooky. We had a few younger people on our tour who asked random questions and seemed sarcastic at times but he handled them well and always managed to move on from their attention seeking, drawing everyone's attention back to his stories. We visited parts of Edinburgh we have never seen before and felt involved in the history ans story telling. Would recommend.”
