Witchery Tours review Rate it
Moving from the castle through the Cowgate, a character guide entertains in agreeably light-hearted fashion, with other characters - including Burke and Hare, the bodysnatchers - frequently popping up to startle the unwary tourist. It's an amusing evening out. The summer-only Ghosts & Gore tour is a daylight reworking of the same event.

The best tour in edinburgh by far
Am a local in the city and been on a few tours when friends visited and had to do the tourist thing
The Witchery tour takes a very light hearted look at the city and its ghostly history
The guides are really funny and engaging and there are a few shocking surprises
If you want to make the most of your time in Edinburgh do this tour
