For a city that prides itself on its stories...you have to have realllly good story-tellers...this tour did not disappoint! Maeve was probably the best tour guide for a ghost tour that I've ever had, and I've been on A LOT of ghost tours! Very gripping, and very well paced for it being only an hour long. Wish it was a teeny bit longer! Thoroughly creeped out. Highly recommend this one.

I went on the adults-only tour, and it did not disappoint: a short walk from the Mercat Cross to the Mercat Tours building and into their underground vaults giving about 7-10 stories along the way (depending on how you count stories as stops or the ones told at each stop). Neave was our tour guide, and she did a fantastic job. What was exceptionally funny was when she told a story of someone falling to their death and then she dropped her microphone system and made a joke about how it was a visual representation of what happened to him. Absolutely perfect. She told stories that are not for the squeamish, and she told them with a macabre delight that was quite in character for the affair. Even better, she didn’t all and she only had a cloak for warmth over her period-appropriate clothes. She is great in the role. The only thing I should mention is that on top of the vaults themselves, they actually pack you into a small room, so if you’re at all claustrophobic, stay away. I stood with my head against the slanted ceiling for about 10 minutes inside what was about the size of a huge brick oven. This is not for anyone with enclosed spaces issues. Overall, a great tour made mostly by the guide. It is a short walk with stories—not much in the way of visuals other than a close and the vaults. Probably the least amount of walking I’ve ever done on what I thought was going to be a walking tour, so you should expect a series of stories, short walks, and a vault tour. Don’t choose this if you are looking to tour the city and hear stories about the local buildings—there are only a couple of those.

Did the late night hidden & haunted Ghost tour - with Fey (not bob! ;) and it was amazing. Fay was an exceptional host and has a gorgeous was of story telling. The tour itself was really intresting and highlited history we would of otherwise never of known. The vaults are really intresting and if you're spiritual (or not!) you can definatly sense strange feelings down there. Would reccomend if you're in Edinburgh,

Neave is so friendly and amazing story teller, where she made even the most gruelling tales quite funny. Great history and especially in the vaults underground I could really feel the chills. Highly recommend this for anyone visiting Edinburgh!

We enjoyed our tour with Veny. It was equal parts educational and spooky! We enjoyed the history of Edinburgh that Veny provided, and her method of story telling did create a spooky atmosphere
