Waste off money, spent most off the time talking at least 40 minites outside, then when u were finally in there, u were moved from room to room quickly as possible then out the door again

Excellent tour well worth it. Especially at night when the atmosphere and darkness really makes it feel so spooky

Really enjoyable walk through the underground vaults. Sophie was AMAZING. She tells the tales of Old Edinburgh in a spine chilling manner. Loved the headphones. They made it easy to hear and immerse yourself in the experience.

Jade is a great story/historian. The headphones and mic system worked well and the timing was just right.

Explore a part of city that can not be seen. Really worthwhile. The fact that the tour tool place in the night gave a special atmosphere

Brilliant tour, both informative and entertaining, from the very beginning our guide, Nicola, had us immersed in the Edinburgh of old and its gruesome past.
The vaults were fascinating and the tales of ghosts lots of fun and a wee bit scary!

The guide was very dramatic. The experience was nothing great or exciting. Too much of irrelevant info.
Carrie_L, Oct 2024
Very silly and a waste of time and money. We barely saw anything and heard silly ghost stories rather than learning real info

Awesome job by Shannon , history, humor and suspense all rolled into one experience. Highly recommended
Sandra_K, Oct 2024
Wish this tour was longer, specifically with more locations. In such a historically rich city, I'm surprised we only met at the church and walked to the vaults.
Brittany_B, Oct 2024
Told more ghost stories than facts. The tour was Not scary at all. Cool to see vaults but would have liked more history.

Our guide, Steph, made the tour enjoyable and spooky!! Unique way to experience Edinburgh! We did the one hour tour, and it was just enough.
Katrina_P, Jul 2024
This was a nice finish to our day of exploring the city. The history and stories from the dark underbelly of the city are fascinating as is the visit to the underground vaults. Great storytelling!

Nicola was a fantastic story teller!! We learned a lot and were thoroughly entertained. It was just what I was looking for. Thank you!

Well organized, informative and entertaining tour. Early 20s kids totally enjoyed.
Our leader Jarrod was great story teller and kept everyone interested.
Elizabeth_L, Mar 2024
Not as advertised; really rather boring. The guide had obviously done this many, many times and had no enthusiasm.
Courtney_P, Nov 2023
It was a fun tour, the tour guide was hilarious and staff friendly. Tour felt short and maybe would have liked a bit more history on the vaults.
Lytrell_B, Nov 2023
Emily was the guide for this tour. If you are thinking about things to do, DO THIS! It is only an hour and you get some unknown slightly gruesome Edinburgh history and a view of some ver haunted vaults. This tour was amazing! I will come back and go again!!! (Not for the faint of heart.)
Kim_C, Oct 2023
Vaults were creepy and tour guide was excellent. Technology was simple and worked as it should. Length of tour was just right
Kevin_C, Oct 2023
Ross the guide was exceptional. The man is made for that job. Great character and great story telling.
Rachel_G, Oct 2023
Emily was a great tour guide! My friends and I did the late night tour and it was very spooky. No ghost sightings from us, though
Richard_P, Oct 2023
The most meemorable moment of our tour was EMILY! She is an amazing storyteller and would do the tour again with her!!
FAYE_S, Sep 2023
The guide Ross was awesome but we were hoping for more actual events of the history of the vaults. Perhaps we chose the wrong tour for what we were looking for.
Kristy_M, Sep 2023
When the guide asked everyone to close their eyes and say the first name that popped in their head. A complete stranger said “Jack McPherson”. I instantly got goosebumps as this was my grandfather’s name. Made the experience that much better.
Emma_D, Aug 2023
We had Ross as our tour guide and WOW he was amazing. His story telling was brilliant and made the tour super spooky and also enjoyable. If you have Ross- you're in for a treat!
Carrie_L, Jul 2023
Stephanie (our guide) was lovely. She was fun and interesting. She knew her stuff and presented it very well. The vaults were interesting, I wasn’t sure if I’d enjoy it as I’m a bit woosie of the dark and small spaces, but that added to the ‘scare’ 😂👍🏻😊
Linda_C, May 2023
While the tour leader worked hard and did a great job acting the part of someone terrified of the ghosts, the experience itself was just silly. Maybe children would enjoy it. We adults did not.
