A week or a long weekend, the problem is the same: the good bits are three hours apart. The 15 below are the bookings that earn their day, priced and timed, with the whole catalogue underneath when you want to dig.
Edinburgh’s Underground Ghost Tour takes you from the Royal Mile to Greyfriars Kirkyard and down into 400-year-old vaults in 75 minutes.
“Dr. Robert Knox, our tour guide was fantastic!! Be prepared to be included in the tour, as he plays off of guests and improvises throughout. I highly recommend the experience, and going in with a fun outlook definitely makes the whole thing even more enjoyable.”
Step into Edinburgh’s underground vaults under South Bridge on a guided 1-hour walk, mixing grim 18th-century stories with spooky sights.

“It was our first time visiting Edinburgh castle and thanks to our tour guide Joe, we had a wonderful day! We got all the facts in and even had time for a joke. Would definitely recommend to friends that are coming to visit.”
Skip the queue at Edinburgh Castle, walk the Royal Mile with a guide, then explore on your own after a 90-minute story-driven tour.
“This was a great 90 minutes with Koffe as our guide! He was an amazing storyteller AND knew all the history and facts! He truly made the experience awesome. It is important to know that you have 90 minutes with the guide and then you can explore wherever you want for as long as you want once the tour is done. It was a great value for the money and Koffe truly helped us understand the important history of the castle along with some fun extra facts too like statues with glorious mustaches. We go on many tours and I would highly recommend this one!!”
12-hour Highlands tour from Edinburgh to Glencoe, Fort William, Glenfinnan Viaduct, and a seasonal Jacobite Train crossing view.
“Keith is an amazing guide and driver, who is also very funny and quite knowledgeable about the history of Scotland. I really enjoyed how he incorporated stories told to him by his grandfather into tour. He made the 12+ hour tour entertaining and fun, especially for someone like me who loves to learn about history. It was an amazing tour. History with an extra helping of Harry Potter, my favorite pastime, and Glenfinnan Viaduct along with the Jacobite Steam train. Amazing experience!!”

Ride a vintage double-decker Ghost Bus through Edinburgh Old Town, from Edinburgh Castle to Greyfriars and Grassmarket, with funny, scary stories.
“While this was fun, we were jam packed into an overheated bus that was very hard to see out of. The stories were very interesting and the guide was entertaining but the end with the ghost was a bit over the top. Would not recommend for small children.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
