To clear up a bit of confusion, there are two tours run by the City of the Dead Ghost Tours. The origional one runs through the Greyfriars Graveyard and the second one which is newer runs through the Vaults under South Bridge, called the underground city, or something of that nature. I went on the underground city one which wasn't... more

Decided to go the Graveyard tour as part of a 3 day trip to Edinburgh. Left a warm pub to catch the earlier tour around 8.30pm but after waiting in the cold for 45 minutes, we conceeded that no one was turning up! This was a little disappointing as we have enquired earlier that day and it had been confirmed... more

City of the Dead's graveyard tour was fantastic! After a meal at Frankenstein's on George 4th Bridge (oh I so recommend that place!) we made our way to the sign to be greated by our highly entheusiastic guide! She was really friendly chatting with us as we waited for the tour to start. It is little touches like that that... more

I went on this tour last night (Sep 08) and it was just terrible. It started off badly by the first tour begin cancelled due to limited numbers so we hung around for an hour to go on the next one. The stories told were highly not believable, albeit the girl was quite good at telling a story, but the... more

We went on the City of the Dead Tour and found it was total rubbish. Firstly, we didn't go underground but visited the cellar/store room of a noisy nightclub. Secondly, no ghosts were mentioned. Thirdly, our host told us she was a sceptic and did not beleive in ghosts. There was nothing scary in this tour at all. The history... more

Well, I can only imagin the last reviewer got the tour name wrong, as I found the tour to be fantastic so obviously not the same tour!!! Our guide was English, which unlike the last reviewer didn't bother me in the slightest as she was good at her job, fun, friendly and entertaining!!! I was also relieved to hear that... more

After reading the reviews for this tour, myself, my husband and two friends couldnt wait to go. We were in Edinburgh to celebrate mine and my friends 40th. we waited until the last night to do the tour. Prior to this we did mary Kings close and the dungeons which were fab. The City of the dead tour was absolute... more

This was a good tour. Our guide, called ‘David’, was excellent and made the tour very enjoyable indeed, with just the right mixture of humour and interesting historical facts. I can honestly say that the tour wasn’t actually very scary, even in the Covenanters Prison or the Black Mausoleum. I’ve read a few of the other reviews by people on... more

We went on this tour 30 August at 10pm. Our tour guide was Rosie who was absolutely brilliant at creating a spooky atmosphere and telling us all kinds of stories. I have to admit I was quite scared as I have been lent the book 'the ghost that haunted itself' which I had been reading on the plane and it... more
