I would highly recommend and felt it was extremely good value.…

Two friends, my wife and I went on this walking tour as we only had a few days in Edinburgh and thought we’d give it a go.

Entertaining and informative walking tour related to the exploits of 1820s murderers-Burke and Hare. Great information and visiting bits of Edinburgh I've not seen before(and I live here). Steve was knowledgable and entertaining with lots of facts about 19th century Edinburgh. Well worth the walk. Do it, it's fun.…

A really interesting walk around key locations in the Burke and Hare story. Steve is a great guide and had lots of facts and social history of the time woven into the tour. Even as an Edinburgh resident, I learned a lot and enjoyed seeing hidden away places I'd never seen before. Highly recommended - and it will get you off the busy tourist trail.…
