Great ghost tour - This tour was a fun way to see the dark/creepy side of Edinburgh. Our guide, Sonia, took us through the many histories of the witch hunts and murders of Edinburgh, including getting to step in to some of the graveyards, which greatly set the mood. Sonia was very knowledgeable and was a great guide for anyone looking to see the mysterious side of Edinburgh.
