Edinburgh: Dark Secrets of the Old Town Ghost Walking Tour
About this experience
Ready for a spooktacular experience in Edinburgh? Join this creepy tour and learn about the city's dark history! See how people lived in the plague-filled streets in the 17th-century and how they died during the Black Death. You'll also discover some *less-than-fool-proof* ways that doctors tried to cure the sick, with bird masks at the ready!
Discover a black market of corpses from the 19th century. Learn the intentions of serial killers William Burke and William Hare, uncover the truth behind the burning of witches and warlocks, and step foot in Old Calton Cemetery and Canongate Kirkyard.
You'll also get some great views across Edinburgh as you learn more about the mythical Scottish faeries.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.

Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
