Let’s address your question about the cost of crime tours in Edinburgh. We currently offer 12 different tours exploring this fascinating area of history, and the price range is quite varied – you can find tours for as little as £16, but they can reach up to £371.
The variation in price largely reflects a combination of factors. Generally, shared group tours are at the lower end of the scale (£16 - £85), while private or small-group experiences tend to be more expensive – usually between £120 and £371. The duration of the tour also plays a role; those running for 90 minutes will typically be less costly than the longer 150-minute options.
Within that price range, you’ll find tours offering differing levels of exclusivity and detail. While all tours are rated an average of 4.8 out of 5, reflecting consistently positive customer feedback, a higher price point often includes more in-depth exploration, perhaps with added elements like specialist guides or access to unique locations.
Considering the overall rating and the breadth of options available, we believe these crime tours represent good value for money, particularly if you’re looking for an engaging and informative experience within the 90 to 150 minute timeframe.
