Tours Offered
Tours presently operate on a private basis - simply reach out in the contact form and we’ll fix up a date :) If you’re looking to join a public tour, I co-operate with several walking tour companies in the city, and I’m happy to share my upcoming tours if you enquire.

£75/1.5hrs
Okay, don’t let the other tours hear me say this - but this one’s my favourite. Just like Harry Potter, you’ve probably seen dozens of Ghost tours in the city. This isn’t one of them.
This one is 100% real. No Casper the Friendly Ghost - we’re talking medieval prisons, the plague, public torture and execution methods, Scottish witch trials, cholera and typhus epidemics, underground vaults, cemeteries, serial killers, and a grand finale of cannibals.
Needless to say, the topics are graphic, so if you’re squeamish, this one might not be for you. But if you like this true-crime-vibe and want to know the real, uncensored Edinburgh… then this is a good place to start.
Recommended duration: 1.5 hrs
Recommended locations: Royal Mile, Mercat Cross, North Bridge, Tweeddale Court, Chessel Court, Tolbooth Prison & Tavern, Canongate Kirkyard.
Price (private tour): £75. For public tours, please reach out to ask about my schedule.
Psychos, Thrillers and Serial Killers
Edinburgh Castle Private Tour
£50/1hr, excl. admission
If the Castle is on your Edinburgh to-do list, the best way to see it is with a trusted guide. It’s a big complex of over 20 buildings with 13 (!) museums, which cover over 3000 years of history. To make the best out of the visit, having a good guide is essential.
We’ll talk about Macbeth, Robert the Bruce, Mary Queen of Scots, Napoleon, Queen Victoria, the World Wars and more. I’ll show you the soldier barracks, the castle prisons, the One O’Clock Gun, St. Margaret’s Chapel, the Royal Palace, and the Crown Room; all complete with beautiful vistas to the North and West of Edinburgh.
Guiding is only allowed in the outdoor parts of the complex, so after the tour leave yourself at least 1 hr for exploration of your selected museums.
Recommended duration: 1 hr
Price (private tour): Flat fee of £50 for the tour, plus the price of castle tickets. Dates subject to ticket availability on the castle website. For public tours, please reach out to ask about my schedule.
