A great experience around the old town, cemetery & underground town. my wife Julie took a photo and it turned out to have an orb on it, very bright and next to the fireplace in the underground town. no other light sources around, so no reflection etc. The cemetery was a great walk through with our host Maggie, who was very enthusiastic and very knowledgeable throughout. Finally it was lovely to see the grave of Greyfriars Bobby, and of course we left a stick too... We will be back up soon

James was a fantastic guide, he made the tour funny and frightening, highly recommend him. The tour itself was ok, expected a bit more from it but I assume due to Covid-19 it’s had adjustments made to it. Overall brilliant experience and definitely an activity you should do if you visit Edinburgh.

James was an incredible host, who was truly entertaining, his knowledge was superior. Truly chilling and terrfying, if you don't believe in ghost's after this you are seriously deluded, best experince ever. if you are worried about the tour, just do it, it's very funny and really interesting- not good if you don't like small spaces that are very warm
