Extreme Ghost tour - Dr Knox started the tour off on a relaxed comical basis before leading the group through the streets giving an interesting and informative talk along the way maintaining a comical quick wit amongst the tourists all the way through the tour.

The superior Knox brother - Frederick was engaging and funny and incredibly knowledgeable. Was on the 9:15 tour and they made it very enjoyable. They knew when to play up the humour and when to pull it back and get serious again.

Best Ghost Tour in Edinburgh! Best Tour Guide! - Dr. Robert Knox was funny, terrifying, engaging and insightful. This walk is a really good time– disturbing / fascinating city history and ghost stories with access to some deeply unsettling, very haunted spaces. Gave me nightmares! One of the best ghost tours, for sure.

Good Fun, Dark, Dingy and a Little Bit Scary - Very informative. Got a good, long tour around Edinburgh streets, alleys, cemetery and underground. The guide (James Douglas) was a fantastic story teller and very funny. Definitely one for the adults and not if you’re easily offended!
