What to Bring on a Crime Tours Tour in Edinburgh

Let’s talk about preparing for your Crime Tours experience in Edinburgh – we want you to be comfortable and fully engaged with this fascinating look into the city's darker past. These tours typically run for 90 to 150 minutes, which means they involve a good amount of walking, so comfort is key.

Firstly, you absolutely need to wear sturdy, comfortable shoes. Given the nature of these historical explorations and the fact that much of the tour will be spent on foot, trainers or walking boots are ideal. Layers are also essential as Edinburgh weather can change quickly – a light waterproof jacket or fleece would provide welcome protection if conditions turn.

Considering the duration, you won’t need anything overly elaborate. A small backpack to carry water and perhaps a snack is sensible, but don't overpack. Most importantly, bring your curiosity! These tours are consistently highly-rated (an average of 4.8/5), with the “Edinburgh’s Dark and Sinister History Walking Tour” achieving an outstanding 5.0/5 rating based on just two reviews.

Finally, remember that you'll be exploring historic streets, so appropriate clothing is recommended – smart casual is generally suitable for these walking tours, but ultimately, we want you to feel relaxed and ready to delve into Edinburgh’s criminal past.
