We had a great time and would recommend this to anyone looking for a vaults tour. Our guide James was incredibly engaging and enthusiastic, his storytelling brought Edinburgh's past to life!

Great tour and tour guide Fraser was an excellent storyteller. Just scary enough without actual scares and a nice mix of actual history and folklore. Highly recommend!

There are so many options available for ghost walks and tours in Edinburgh but we feel we made the right choice. We wanted something with a mix of the supernatural and history of the city which we definitely got here. Fraser was an excellent guide, very easy to hear, personable, knowledgeable and funny, getting the balance just right for us. If you want purely history or purely ghost stories, maybe look elsewhere but if you want an entertaining mix of the two, go for this.

James was an amazing tour guide. Such great energy and storytelling. We especially loved the stories of Greyfriars Bobby.

If you could mash up enthusiasm, passion and knowledge and mould it into human form, you would get James! Well done mate!

While our guide James was very enthusiastic, the tour itself was a bit bland and kitschy, especially the Underground portion. James mentioned that the different tour companies have dibs on certain areas of the underground. That makes the tour more curated to the experiences of that particular tour company and not necessarily to more historically accurate information.

I booked this tour for my family of five: three kids and two adults. I was warned on arrival that some of the historical tales could be scary, which I appreciated. What I didn't appreciate was how many cross looks and muttered comments I received from the guide when my eldest son (who has autism) would talk or make an excited exclamation. There was nothing in the description about it being inappropriate for an ambulatory 9 year old with autism. We were made to feel so uncomfortable that we left the tour after entering the underground's first room.

James was tremendous. So lively and knowledgeable which genuinely enhanced the experience. Well worth the money. I had my EMF reader subtlety going out of sight and let me tell you, the lights were dancing across to red consistently. Educational but not for young kids to be sure.

James was a great tour guide! Hilarious and entertaining as well as a great storyteller! This tour is definitely a must do!

Not sure why the tour couldn’t just meet at the Greyfriar Bobby’s statue. The initial walk wasn’t relevant to the tour. But the tour was grand and we enjoyed learning some of the history of the graveyard.
