Cameron Mackintosh Award

Two City of the Dead tour guides, John and Gerry Kielty, have won the Cameron Mackintosh Award for the Best Musical. Set (naturally) in Greyfriars Graveyard, The Sundowe has already toured Scotland to critical acclaim. www.thesundowe.com

And, if you want their (most excellent) band, The Martians are available for hire. A big hit at the Edinburgh Festival, they are anarchic, irreverent and very funny. They’re pretty good tour guides too. www.the-martians.co.uk

Their show at the 2008 Edinburgh Festival Fringe Twisted Tales of Greyfriars won a Spririt of the Fringe award, as well as five star review from Fest and Three Weeks magazines.

The Dead Will Rise at Easter

City of the Dead tours will change to their summer timetable on March 25th. And there will be lots of extra tours at Easter Weekend, so call or email us to book a place.

Colony

Jan Andrew Henderson’s new thriller Colony is out early in 2009
30 years ago a secret research facility was destroyed - overrun by millions of ants. Two survivors fled the carnage, unaware that something terrible escaped with them.

Now two teenagers discover they are linked to that fateful day. Betrayed by their families and hounded by the military, they begin to realise their whole lives have been a lie.

Worse than that, the ants are gathering again…

Halloween, New Year and Easter

We have lots of extra tours on at these holidays – that’s why you can’t book ‘em online. To book, just call us and we will tell you the times and reserve spaces for you.
