Informative, Amusing, Attention Grabbing.

Our guide Edgar Guerriro was enthusiastic, very informative and hilarious. He clearly knew what he was talking about with precise dates and would also share local Folklore stories which are very interesting sometimes amusing. He also gave some fantastic recommendations for restaurants and pubs specific to our tastes. 100% would recommend was a great night.

The dark history tour concentrated on the real dark history of Edinburgh. Our guide, Edgar was a great personality and brought the stories to life. He made our very small group welcome and his insight and knowledge of the city were fantastic. It was a little drizzly during our walk and he made extra effort to ensure we had cover wherever possible. Highly recommended.

Thank you, Kinshuk, for booking with us, and for taking the time to leave a review! Yeah, I still maintain that reality is more frightening than fiction. Ghost stories are (a lot of) fun, but the reality behind them is often so much more fascinating. Makes you grateful to live in slightly better times. Again, if there is anything else I can help you with, don't hesitate to contact! All the best for you and your wife, and until our paths cross again; Edgar
