Plan your Edinburgh experience

Edinburgh’s Old Town, New Town and hillside views offer different experiences within a compact centre. Build a route that accounts for slopes and steps rather than assuming every short walk is an easy one.

Historic-site visits, guided walks and excursions into the wider region suit different schedules. Compare the tour focus, language and transport, and distinguish a city outing from a full-day departure.

Read the meeting point carefully where streets have different levels. For outdoor visits or longer excursions, follow the operator’s clothing guidance and leave time before another reservation.

Listed duration: 120 minutes

About this experience and booking advice

Book the Edinburgh after-dark ghost walking tour Book Edinburgh ghost tour tickets on VervTrip for a two-hour evening walk through the Old Town and down into the Blair Street Underground Vaults. A cloaked storyteller leads a small group of up to 18 people through medieval closes and alleyways, telling true stories of witchcraft, public executions, riots and restless spirits in the places where they happened.

Your storyteller mixes real history with the legends that grew around it, so it works whether you are a history fan or just want a good scare. The second half of the evening goes below the city. The Blair Street Underground Vaults are a network of chambers under the South Bridge, and the stories told here cover the people who lived and worked in them and the ghosts said to remain. Original artefacts, scents and sounds add to the atmosphere, and the evening has its own playlist inspired by the stories.
