What they think about this tour.
A super interesting tour with Raj, who was really knowledgeable and brought a funny side to the dark and creepy stories of Edinburgh.
Ever though we weren’t able to get both graveyards, the guide made it a super interesting and informative tour, a lot of stories and facts
Sonia was a lovely tour guide! She told us many interesting things about Edinburgh's dark (so dark) history with much enthusiasm, would definitely recommend!! ^-^
Sonia was a great introducer. even though I am not an English user, I could understand the story lines, which was really interesting. If you ask me if it was scary, I will say not that time, but after the tour, I felt some spooky mood from the story. so, It was helpful to vary my view for this city. Good!
It was a fun tour. thnx to Sonia.
Our tour leader is Raj, He mades the story of how scotland became part of british so interesting.I also enjoy his the scary telling story of how people being punished at old age, the hanging, witchecraft story and the story of the plagues. We just had a short stay in edinburgh, we are so happy to have this tour, many memorable stories to tell backhome. Raj is also so kind to give us information about interesting places to visit in our limited time.
