Private or Group: Which Ghost Tours Tour Should You Choose in Edinburgh?

Choosing a ghost tour in Edinburgh depends entirely on your preferences and budget, and we’ve got a fantastic selection of 31 tours to cater for every kind of traveller. Generally, you'll find options ranging from around £12 for a shorter experience to a more immersive £1,263 investment – this wide price range reflects the variety in duration and included elements.

If you value flexibility and a more intimate experience, a private tour is undoubtedly the way to go. These tend to offer a tailored pace, allowing you to linger at points of particular interest and ask questions directly to your guide. The higher price point – typically between £275 and £1,263 – reflects this personalized service and the ability to book for just your group.

However, shared or group tours can be significantly more economical, often falling within the £12-£275 range. You’ll benefit from a lower cost per person, but you'll need to accept a set pace dictated by the overall group size and potentially a less tailored experience. The duration of these tours varies greatly, offering options from just 60 minutes to up to 960 minutes – allowing you to choose an adventure that fits your schedule perfectly.
