Dark Tales of Edinburgh Walking Tour with German-Speaking Guide
Small, personal 5 star group tour with a maximum of 12 people.
Delve into the darker recesses of Edinburgh’s past on this 75-minute walking tour with a German-speaking guide. As darkness falls over the Old Town, hear about the public executions and tortures staged here and explore the cobbled alleyways around St Giles Cathedral. Then, descend into the Blair Street Vaults beneath the South Bridge. Listen to tales about the strange happenings associated with these eerie chambers, including the story of Edinburgh’s 19th century bodysnatchers said to have hunted and perhaps hidden their victims in the caverns.
