This tour was fab!! Whenever we’re travelling we love to do a ghost tour to learn about local spooks. We were very intrigued by the vaults of Edinburgh and so had to book! The history was super fascinating! This tour provider have access to the most vaults so you’re getting value for money and Louisa our tour guide was witty, entertaining and very knowledgeable as well as clearly passionate! Got genuine shivers walking through these vaults so visit if you’re into the gruesome history of these vaults!

I’ll get the gripes out the way first, it was very short and expected to see a lot more of the vaults than we did. Felt like we were just starting to get into it and was told it was finished. The guide didn’t show us things she was supposed to. We didn’t get showin the torture room and forgot to take us to places we were supposed to. She also was walked very fast and it was extremely busy on the Royal Mile, my wife found it hard to keep up with her. The good stuff: very friendly and knowledgeable guide, very interesting albeit short as I’ve said above. Found the gruesome and horrific history of the city fascinating. Would recommend but don’t expect a long time in the vaults
