Come along to this walking tour with a twist! Join the ghosts of Dante and Virgil as they explore Dundee in the dark. He may be 700 years old, but Dante still has a story to tell and they want to hear your story too. Who lives here? What do the buildings reveal? On this tour you’re the guides; after all, there is no better way to learn about your city than to walk and talk your way through it. Better yet, how would you describe your favourite haunts to our honoured Italian and Roman guests? And could you give them some pointers on their latest poems? After 700 years, they’re a little… rusty.
