Edinburgh Ghost Tours after dark & Edinburgh Buses/Tram

Will spend several nights in Edinburgh in March. Can anyone recommend a couple of good ghost tours for adults?

Also, can you just use a contactless credit card for buses and trams? Do you just tap on or also need to top off?

On Lothian Buses (the Operator in the City) you can use contactless- tap on only. It's like London in that there is a daily price cap.

This is their web page about it which includes an embedded video.

The capping does not include the trams.

This page tells you what tickets include the trams- either tram only or tram and bus- for both modes the best option is to buy day tickets, either contactless from tram stops or as m-tickets on the app.

Sometime later in the year (not by March) the tram route is extending from the City Centre down to Leith.
