The industrial revolution has already left its mark on the city and its inhabitants, with thick black smoke in the sky and a growing population. Modern crimes have taken over the streets, and a young man, a student at Edinburgh Medical School, becomes fascinated by their complexities: he is Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of the iconic Sherlock Holmes. Immerse yourself in his world, and become part of the story yourself. This adventure includes a guided tour, a scientific lunch, and the chance to solve exciting crimes inspired by the places, murders, and medical discoveries that influenced the author.
You'll explore Edinburgh with your costumed storyteller who will reveal Sherlock Holmes' greatest mystery: the detective himself. First, you'll retrace the steps of Arthur Conan Doyle and discover the places that inspired the author when he created his famous detective stories. Did you know that bodies were dug up by students in Greyfriars Cemetery? Or that Joseph Bell, Conan Doyle's teacher, was a doctor consulting for the Scottish Police?
After the 2-hour private guided tour, you'll warm up in a restaurant that mixes chemistry and good food. Have fun experimenting with foaming, bubbling cocktails/mocktails and delicious meals.
