Great Tour!  (Edinburgh)

Our guide (Eris) was very funny and we went to very interesting places. I liked that there was something for everyone (historical and fictional) and there was encouragement for people to support the campaign that fights for people accused and convicted under the Witchcraft Act. Highly recommend!

Nice tour with a great guide  (Edinburgh)

Lisa (aka Eris) was a great guide. Very informative and a great character. She also took the time afterwards to talk to me more about the movement to right to the wrongs of the past in regards to the accused and gave me so interesting things to look up in my free time. The history was very interesting, and the jokes were cute. Loved how engaging she was. Didn’t feel like you were being talked at, but we’re actually part of her conversation. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Fun way to learn about Edinburgh's history  (Edinburgh)

The tour was led by "Emerald" and done completely in character as a benevolent witch. It takes roughly an hour and will teach you some nice facts about Edinburgh's history - not all of them witch related. Our tour guide was extremely enthusiastic and funny. Highly recommended..

Brilliant story telling  (Edinburgh)

Brilliant story telling, my 8 year old daughter said it was the best thing she had done! Eris, our witch guide was absolutely brilliant, she stayed in character the whole time and was very knowledgeable on the city’s history. She really made the tour!!

Fantastic  (Edinburgh)

Terry (witchname: Emerald) was a fantastic, witty and witchy guide. The weather was awful but easily forgotten by her energy and humour. 10 out of 10 can recommend for a funny, historical and magical tour. It was a bewitching and enchanting hour and a half with an enthusiastic guide.

Absolutely brilliant  (Edinburgh)

The tour was brilliant, informative and full of little historical details that really made it stand out. Chloe (I really hope I remembered that right) was a brilliant tour guide and had a presence and enthusiasm that really helped with the tales that she was telling. We only found out later that it was her first night and she was phenomenal. I would heavily recommend the tour to anyone interested in the witchy history of Edinburgh.

Fun and interesting tour  (Edinburgh)

Fun and interesting tour round and about Edinburgh old town. Lots of interesting stories of Edinburgh’s murky past. As a local, some I already knew of but still learned loads I did not and explored places I hadn’t been!

Terry-fic tour  (Edinburgh)

Our tour guide was Terry and we were really impressed with the way she delivered this tour experience. She was extremely enthusiastic, entertaining and rather funny in her commentary. We particularly enjoyed some of the amusing names she called us. The tour itself was well structured and very interesting. We felt that she gave the victims of the past a voice and an element of justice. Thank you for a very enjoyable tour, we will definitely recommend 👌
