Best Time for a Crime Tours Tour in Edinburgh

The best time for a Crime Tours experience in Edinburgh is undoubtedly May to September. During these warmer and brighter months, you’ll find the most favourable conditions for exploring the city's darker side, which naturally lends itself to our walking tours. These tours typically run for 90 to 150 minutes, so we want to ensure optimal visibility and comfort for all participants.

Given the nature of crime-themed historical explorations, a period with longer daylight hours is key. The warmer weather also tends to increase visitor numbers to Edinburgh, and our twelve available Crime Tours are consistently popular. We recommend booking in advance, especially if you’re travelling during peak times.

The average rating for these tours is an impressive 4.8 out of 5, largely thanks to the top-rated "Edinburgh's Dark and Sinister History Walking Tour," which currently boasts a perfect 5.0/5 based on two reviews and a price of £16. This tour’s popularity suggests a strong interest in our city's more unsettling past.

The price range for Crime Tours varies from £16 to £371, reflecting the length and depth of exploration offered. We believe that May through September provides the best balance of weather, visitor numbers, and overall enjoyment for your tour experience with us.
