It was bloody awful. Could’ve been better with a tour guide who took it seriously but the foul mouthed guy only wanted to belittle the English and said on more than one occasion he would rather be getting pissed than taking us out in a tour. Worst experience of my life.

Our tour guide gave us a enthralling overview of Edinburgh’s spooky past. Would recommend this to anyone looking to learn more about Scotland’s historic – if slightly embellished – past

Our tour guide was James Douglas, there were 7 people on the tour in total and we laughed through the whole tour. James was full of information and knowledge but also very funny, it was a great tour, well worth the money.

Our tour guide, Lafayette’s, dry sense of humor, quick wit, and harmless scare tactics here and there made for a funnier, less spooky, night tour of Edinburgh.
I would have enjoyed more historical stories/lore and more time underground but we enjoyed walking around the city and seeing it at night.
Make sure to wear comfortable shoes as the tour is a walking one and we covered a lot of Edinburgh’s city center during the 75 minute tour.

Fun and lighthearted tour of Edinburgh with the Red Witch! She was enthusiastic, confident and tried to engage the group. It would be good to hear a bit more about the city’s history and premise of some of the events /places described especially when we are walking from place to place.

James was awesome! Super witty and very engaging with his crowd even though the weather was cold and rainy. While the experience isn’t super scary, it can get rather spooky, but is very informative! 9/10 Would recommend!

The red witch was good when it comes to storytelling. She was also very interactive with the audience and even kept people busy even when moving from one place to another. Some of the facts provided were interested. What would make the experience better is the number of people in the group that should be a bit smaller especially in the vaults and if there were some kind of lights in the cemetary.., or if it was a bit earlier

We arrived 1 min late as trying to find ticket office to the tour but we were then told the party had left without us – they said the ticket said come 15 mins early but we checked it and it did not say this. We ran up the road trying to find them as the lady in the ticket office who was very rude said we may be able to catch them. When we found them the tour guide said we weren’t allowed to join as we were late and he wouldn’t take us, the other guests on the tour took pity on us and said they wanted us to be allowed on so they voted for us stay, the tour guide wasn’t happy about this and it was all quite humiliating having to argue with him to let us join. He ignored us for most of the tour and we also couldn’t hear what he was saying a lot of the time – he made us feel awkward and to be honest it was all a load of rubbish anyway – deffo wouldn’t recommend – also at the end there was another tour coming into the vaults and the guides were having a go at each other

The Edinburgh vaults were definitely worth seeing.
However, I was extremely disappointed with the tour guide’s knowledge. She referred to King Charles III (our present monarch!) when she should have referred to King Charles II in the Greyfriars Kirkyard.

Super fun experience for anyone looking to take a deeper dive into the darker side of Edinburgh. Our host (Dr. O) was fantastic and did a wonderful job of staying in character and interacting with the group. I would do this tour again no problem.

My wife was a little worried this would be just 75 minutes of walking, but it wasn’t. The stops and stories were not only entertaining, but well spaced to help those with moderately different mobility concerns. Our guide was great and knowledgeable. It was the perfect end to a great day on the Royal Mile.

What can I say about Dr.Knox I haven’t laughed like that in a long time, he was amazing! At first I wasn’t that excited about the fright night tour as I am a jumpy person. However, Dr. Knox with his scary voice and funny jokes mixed the vibes and made the tour AWESOME!!!
He told us historical stories, scary stories about the city and showed us where the bodies are hidden.
Had SO much fun with zero regrets to book this tour.
Cheers Dr.Knox 👍🏻
