Additional Information

As the twilight closes in, and the eerie hour looms nearer, accompany us for an 80-minute, late-night, electrifying trek through the historic district and underground of Edinburgh. The harsh history of Scotland’s capital births an unparalleled, impressive, yet somewhat discomforting vibe that’s apt for evening spectral trips. Allow one of our outfitted guides, impersonating a notorious figure from history, to navigate you through the labyrinthine closes of the Old Town, introduce you to the infamously haunted Greyfriars Kirkyard, and unravel one of Edinburgh’s deepest enigmas – the subterranean vaults that crisscross beneath the city. Listen to grisly, yet always amusing and insightful, narratives of spectres, torture, hangings, manslaughter, cannibalism, and sorcery. The thrills on this tour originate not from cheap stunts or startling frights, but from proficient storytelling.

Above - Soldier was an interesting character and very theatrical in his delivery! Enjoyed the experience but would have liked more underground exploration! I would like to wish Soldier all the best in his acting career! Sally-Ann

Spooky Fun! - We had a blast with Soldier Jack! The tour is unique in that it goes underground. Soldier Jack did a wonderful job bringing the stories to light. My sisters and my parents both super enjoyed it! Really good campy fun!
