Fay was fun and informative as our guide. Group size was good too. Fascinating history lesson about Edinburgh

kmccane

I think all of the ghost tours are corny, and this was no exception, but it was an entertaining way to get into the vaults that we'd heard so much about.

Neal_M

All of the ghost tours into the vaults appear to be quite corney, but we enjoyed getting into the vaults that we've read so much about. Could have spent less time above ground and more in the vaults, but overall an enjoyable way to spend a few hours.

Our guide, Mark, was a great storyteller and moved us along at a good pace. I really liked the look at the underground vaults and their accompanying stories. And the drink at the end is the perfect way to finish the tour!

Linda was a great guide and storyteller. It was the right amount of historical information about the city, woven in with some creepiness! If you are a ghost believer or not, it was time well spent.

gianluca_tettamanti

This guided tour was so incredibly brilliant! Our guide, Anastasia, shared tales with such charisma, talent, and knowledge that made us all dive very deep into the dark side of Edinburgh. The underground walk was honestly spooktastic and extremely satisfying for history and ghost story lovers alike. The visit concludes with a detailed exhibition room that adds some extra quality to the whole experience. Highly recommended!

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time on this ghostly tour. Martin, our guide, was a great storyteller who added an air of spookiness but also comedy. We walked a bit through Edinburgh before descending into the underground vaults and hearing about the entities that still occupy the space. The whiskey at the end was nice as well. Definitely recommend doing this tour for a fun, unique evening in Edinburgh.
