Full description
A private nighttime walk through Edinburgh's alleys and cemeteries, uncovering witch legends and the dark events that shaped the city's history.
A private night tour through the closes and graveyards of Edinburgh, designed to uncover the legends of witches and the dark events that marked the city's history. The experience combines historical storytelling with research into the city's local mysteries — a tour to believe or not to believe, but essential for getting to know the darker side of the Scottish capital up close.
Throughout its history, Edinburgh has witnessed bloody events, murders and witch burnings. The echoes of these events have survived through time and remain imprinted in the closes and graveyards visited after nightfall.
The group moves away from the most touristic routes to travel back to a time when life was forbidden beyond the city walls. Through a series of stories, the Spanish-speaking guide offers a view of Edinburgh similar to the one its former inhabitants had, one in which history, more often than not, surpasses legend.
As this is a private tour exclusive to the group, the experience adapts to the participants' pace and is conducted entirely in Spanish.
