Walking Tours in Edinburgh

My tour guide Josh was very knowledgeable and kept a steady walking pace without overwhelming everyone. I especially enjoyed being sorted into houses and trying to answer the Harry Potter trivia along the way. 🙂

Well done. Creepy in the right amount. Interesting information. The dungeons part was quite short (3 rooms), but still okay. Sometimes it was hard to understand her as a foreigner due to the scottish accent, but that's on us. Really nice guide (Helen), knowledgeable and funny, authentic. Gave us disclaimers before some very harsh topics and everything, really nice.

Our guide, Mr Biggs, is very professional, acknowledgeable and with great humour. An entertaining and educational trip. Highly recommended! If you stay only fir one night, this is the trip you cannot miss!

Lisa was a great guide. Funny and eccentric, really helped us feel the history and the humour was peak. We came 7 years ago and definitely felt it was even better this time!

Jackson was such an energetic fount of knowledge about all things Harry Potter! Loved his Slytherin viewpoint and enthusiasm. So much fun!

What a laugh we had. The actors keep it all going to well. Thats my 4th visit over the last 7 years and I love how its been different each time We pre booked on line as it saves quite a bit of money

Edinburgh Dungeon. I wasn't expecting much; some cheezy, tourist trip. WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. Edinburgh Dungeon is great fun. The front of house staff are excellent and the performers working the various scenes are an absolute riot! We went with our two boys, aged 10 & 12, and sure, each found this or that scene a bit intense, but nothing traumatizing. Just a lot of fun while learning the horrible facts of life in "Auld Reekie" during the Middle Ages. For those unfamiliar, this isn't just a haunted house experience with jump scares. It is 10 (I think, 10) well-written and performed scenarios from the darker history of the city. A solid 80-plus minutes of genuine scares as you're guided from room to room, spending time at a suspect surgery, a plague-infested street, a witch trial and a haunted mansion (my favorite), among others. And don't say you weren't warned about the leeches.... A blast and a real memory for the family.

I loved the fact that the guide shared lots of stories with us—ones you can’t read on the signs—that are part of the city’s legends and history.
