On this Ghosts, Mysteries, and Witches Tour, you’ll spend two hours delving into Edinburgh’s dark history. We’ll visit cemeteries and alleyways and learn about legends and scientific research into the city’s mysteries. A tour to believe or not to believe, but a must-see. Throughout its history, the city of Edinburgh has witnessed bloody events, murders, and witch burnings. The echoes of these events have survived through time and are embedded in the alleys and cemeteries we’ll explore as night falls. Thus, we’ll leave the most touristy spots behind to travel back to a time when life was forbidden beyond the city walls. Through a series of stories and visual presentations, our Spanish-speaking guide will offer a glimpse of Edinburgh as its former inhabitants once saw it. Sometimes, history surpasses legend.
