What to Bring on a Ghost Tours Tour in Edinburgh

Let’s talk about preparing for your Ghost Tour in Edinburgh! Given the variety of tour lengths – ranging from 60 to 960 minutes – and the fact that there are 31 different tours available, we recommend packing thoughtfully to ensure you're comfortable and ready for a truly immersive experience.

The vast price range, from £12 to £1,263, suggests these tours cover a lot of ground, both literally and historically. Most will involve walking, so comfortable footwear is absolutely essential. We advise sturdy shoes or boots – you’ll likely be navigating cobblestone streets and uneven surfaces during many of the tours.

Considering the average duration of 60 to 960 minutes, layering your clothing is crucial. Edinburgh weather can change quickly, and a longer tour means you'll be spending a significant amount of time outdoors. Bring a waterproof jacket or coat, along with warmer layers like sweaters or fleeces – it’s always better to be prepared for cooler temperatures.

Given the focus on historical stories and potentially darker narratives, we suggest bringing a small notebook and pen if you enjoy taking notes, and perhaps a bottle of water, especially during longer tours. Most importantly, come ready to embrace the spooky atmosphere!
