Turn off your true crime podcast and join your criminally expert tour guide as you wander the streets of Edinburgh’s Old Town and help to decide who really is Edinburgh's worst criminal? Join us on this tour as we unlock the true tales of some of the most well known names in Edinburgh’s history as well as some of the more hidden criminals hiding behind the walls of this gothic city. We will spend 2 hours wandering the streets of the oldest part of the city, visiting some of the burial sites of the stars of our stories in Greyfriars Graveyard, seeing the location of some of their last moments at the sights of Edinburgh's public executions and finally the locations and buildings that these true crimes took place in.

Kieran was a fantastic guide. We were a chaotic group of overtired travellers, locals, teenagers and neurodiversity and Kieran had us spellbound. Hes a fantastic, knowledgeable raconteur. As someone who grew up in Edinburgh, I thought I knew everything about Burke and Hare and he spoke about them for 20 mins - I didn't actually know any of the material he shared about them which shows his depth of research and knowledge. My son has adhd and is usually bored within a couple of minutes but he was totally engaged, asking questions and said he had really enjoyed the tour. I would highly recommend this tour for travellers and locals alike.
