Unforgettable! Ross is completely dedicated to his performance, playing his spooky, "horror show" persona flawlessly while keeping everyone fully engaged and entertained. He also has a great sense of humor and isn't afraid to crack a few dad jokes to keep the vibe fun and welcoming.

Great storytelling Ross really looks the part. He is energetic and entertaining. Other tours passing by paled in comparison. Ross interacted well with participants and dogs (who barked in all the right places). Great storytelling. Really enjoyed it

Something fun to do A dramatic host for sure but was up in some people’s faces a bit much. Ross do some more research about the scary tales to be told and tell more rather than taking ages to tell one tale. You were a great host but was hoping to be a bit more spooky

Creepiest Hallowe’en EVER I was lucky enough to have Ross on Hallowe’en night! What an incredible experience. Ross is an experienced guide with great histories and tales of the supernatural to share. His interaction with the group was exceptional - terrifying everyone with jump scares and physical antics! Ending in the graveyard was absolute perfection. I highly recommend this tour!!!! Thanks Ross!

Even the Dogs Loved It What an amazing evening! Ross is not only knowledgeable and entertaining, but he's welcoming too. Most importantly, perhaps, he was super good with our dogs. I was a bit worried that the dogs would either get scared or find the tour overwhelming, but Ross paid them plenty of attention to keep them relaxed. There were humans on the tour too, and he also treated them well. We really enjoyed learning new stories about Edinburgh and seeing closes and alleyways we'd never seen before. And finishing off at Greyfriars Kirkyard was perfect for Halloween night. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed this tour Ross was really enthusiastic and entertaining. If you think it isn’t for you give it a go as we thought the same but didn’t regret booking for a moment. Value for money is spot on as well

We had Ross as our tour guide. He was an amazing story teller and great entertainer. You can tell he loves his job. We would definitely recommend this tour group and we would come back. Great job guys.

Ross is a professional tour guide with a passion for terrifying tales of Edinburgh’s dark history. Here are some comments from his previous guests:

Ross is the GOAT! Fantastic experience, abundant in laughs, scares, and stories that stick with you. Ross was an absolutely phenomenal tour guide and absolutely deserves a statue on the Royal Mile. 11/10.

private tour, visited Nov 2025

Highly recommend this for a little something to do!! Especially if you are in to history and ghosts! Can’t recommend Ross the tour guide Highly enough. He was so entertaining and enthusiastic, he really made the night!

Entertained to see some great stories from Edinburgh’s past. Vault and Graveyard were excellent as was our guide Ross who introduced us to many ghosts

George S, visited Dec 2023

Really fun tour. Wasn’t scary but very historical with a really good host Ross. Would recommend a tour from him any day!

Andrew C, visited Dec 2023

Ross was a stellar guide – full of knowledge, humour and theatrics to bring the ghastly tales to life! Highly recommend.
