This was a great experience well worth the money. Tommy Terrible is an excellent storyteller, and it was never boring! I love grim history, bus rides and great stories, and this delivered on all. It was the perfect amount of scary and the performance of both the tour guide and the driver were great. If Tommy is ever lending his voice to an audiobook - I am buying the book. Thumbs up from Norway!

Very funny, the guys on the bus made this a great tour, very entertaining!! The bus itself was warm, which for Nov and Dec is what's needed and very aesthetically pleasing and was such a great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Bus tour was just okay. The experience was campy and the scary stories were told so quickly I can't recall much of anything. Woukd recommended trying another tour and saving your money.

From the Birmingham girls: We really enjoyed this experience and Tommy knowledge, along with his enthusiasm! Length of experience was just right and visited some very spooky places. Would recommend to anyone coming to Edinburgh!!
