It was absolutely amazing, so much more fun that I'd expected (and I already knew I was gonna enjoy it.) and would 100% go again when I drag my friends and family along with me next time!

Very good!!!

Leuke bustour. Erg gemakkelijk bij inchecken en ontzettend grappige ghost verteller. Tja, over de veiligheid kon in een 1 invullen want de buschauffeur deed erg schizofreen.. Allemaal een act natuurlijk.. een bandje neem ik aan. Maar ook grappig even uit de bus over kerkhof met enge verhalen. De acteur/ghost verteller maakte de hele tour. Zijn enge verhalen en grappige act. Kon zo het toneel op. Misschien had ik wat meer verhalen verwacht over de geesten in Edinburgh: Bloody McKenzie bv.
