On Christmas Eve 1828, a jury was locked into an Edinburgh courtroom and not released until it decided who would hang. Tonight, that jury is you. Sworn in beneath the floodlit castle, you carry the name of a real victim through the dark side of the Old Town as your storyteller unravels the West Port murders. Stand where Burke and Hare's lodging house stood. Climb the Vennel to the old city wall for the best night view of the castle. Follow the money to the anatomy schools that paid cash for bodies and asked no questions, and pass the building where William Burke's skeleton stands in a case tonight. On a silent street the ghost tours never find, hear the roll of the Sixteen called through the gates of Old Surgeons' Square. Then take your place where the real trial ran all night and cast your verdict on the man the law let walk free. A ghost tour told straight: real hauntings, real history, no costumes leaping from closes. Every stop is in the open air, and somehow that makes it worse.

Underground Vaults Walking Tour in Edinburgh Old Town

Natasha_M, Oct 2026

Don’t miss the Underground Vaults tours.

The Underground Vaults were fantastic. Such an interesting but spooky history whilst you are walking inside the vaults. I was in Edinburgh for a solo day trip and this was a great activity to explore. Our tour guide, Jordan, was brilliant. He spoke loud and clear for all participants, especially those who were from different countries. He explained Edinburgh’s dark history and landmarks before leading us to the vaults.

Wonderful Tour Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. I’m Muñoz. Our tour guide, Campbell, was funny and knowledgeable in all aspects of the castle. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. I highly recommend this tour as it gives you all the highlights and then time on your own to check out different spots in the castle area. If I could give it more than five stars, I would.

Jackie_R, Oct 2026

Beautiful scenery. Billy...

Beautiful scenery. Billy N. Did a fantastic job of providing history throughout the tour. The music he played to enhance the experience was a nice bonus. I highly recommend this tour. I learned quite a bit. The boat tour was only so so. Would probably skip it and just walk around etc next time, but everything else on tour more than made up for that. Info Billy N provided was actually more accurate than what we were told on the boat (verified after tour)

Michael_S, Oct 2026

Wonderful Experience

Fantastic, It was all handled very well with just enough time in each spot to appreciate the location and get some photos. We had plenty of rest stops along the way. Felix was our guide and he was wonderful - informative and helpful and very kind. Our 5 year old grandson really took to him! Timberbush appears to run a very professional operation. we saw them everywhere across the Highlands. I actually wish we’d had more time to explore more of the Highlands- but we had to move on back to London!

As someone who has always...

As someone who has always wanted to see the Scottish Highlands, this trip did not disappoint me. It is a long day, however the bus ride was engaging and scenery was worth the drive. Our tour guide Stephen was very knowledgeable and was very clear with communication throughout which was helpful in making sure we maintained our itinerary. If I return to Scotland I would definitely consider taking another tour with this company.

Agnes was great. We had a big group and she took the time to speak to everyone and find out where they were from. She was engaging and informative. She seemed honestly interested in the history she was telling us and I think that makes a big difference. She wasn’t just reading a script, but wanted the stories to matter. Excellent job!

Edinburgh: Glenfinnan Viaduct, Glencoe & Fort William

Travis_C, Sept 2026

Great trip with Neil

Neil was a great driver and guide, offering Scottish history, fun pop culture facts (we pass many filming locations), and a curated music playlist. It’s a long day but he kept us on schedule without rushing us, and it goes by fairly quickly thanks to Neil’s stories, several stops, and incredible views. He had great recommendations for each stop as well, including a perfect viewing point for the train at the viaduct. Recommended for anyone visiting Edinburgh who isn’t renting a car.
