    Night tour of the old town

    Our guide Federica accompanied us through the old town, telling us the history of wonderful Edinburgh with many historical references and, of course, legends and ghost stories. Truly two pleasant and interesting hours that allowed us to deepen our knowledge

    Response from the operator: Cara Sabry, grazie per aver viaggiato con noi e per aver condiviso la sua esperienza! Siamo felici che, insieme a Federica, abbiate trascorso due ore piacevoli e interessanti, con il giusto mix di brividi e divertimento. Un caro saluto da parte di tutto il nostro team e speriamo di rivedervi presto a Edimburgo!

    Ghost and Edinburgh city center tour

    Interesting tour, the guide Diego was great and friendly. Suitable not only for fans of "ghosts" and the gothic theme, but it also covers history and visits some historical places in Edinburgh on which the guide proved to be knowledgeable.

    Edinburgh 2 Hour Nighttime Ghost Tour Italian Tour Guide: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Edinburgh.

    How much does Edinburgh 2 Hour Nighttime Ghost Tour Italian Tour Guide cost?

    +

    Prices start at $23 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Edinburgh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Edinburgh 2 Hour Nighttime Ghost Tour Italian Tour Guide take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Edinburgh is not rushed.

    Is Edinburgh 2 Hour Nighttime Ghost Tour Italian Tour Guide worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 81 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Edinburgh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Edinburgh 2 Hour Nighttime Ghost Tour Italian Tour Guide?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Edinburgh 2 Hour Nighttime Ghost Tour Italian Tour Guide suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Edinburgh 2 Hour Nighttime Ghost Tour Italian Tour Guide?

    +

    Around 28 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Edinburgh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Edinburgh and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Edinburgh 2 Hour Nighttime Ghost Tour Italian Tour Guide start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Edinburgh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Edinburgh?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Edinburgh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Chocolatarium Chocolate Tour Experience in Edinburgh, The Mountebank Comedy Walk of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Old Town: Historical Guided Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Edinburgh?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Edinburgh?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Edinburgh 2 Hour Nighttime Ghost Tour Italian Tour Guide?

    +

    Included: Professional guide. Not included: Food and drinks; and Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Edinburgh 2 Hour Nighttime Ghost Tour Italian Tour Guide offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Edinburgh 2 Hour Nighttime Ghost Tour Italian Tour Guide?

    +
