    Beth was a WONDERFUL tour guide! I'm a big fan of history especially when it's of the macabre variety, and Beth delivered! The tour taught us some of the history and included some ghost stories! Very much enjoyed!!!

    The tour did no more than take you through several underground chambers that had nothing in them. You went in one door and came out another door only about 30 metres apart. For a total tour time of approximately 90 minutes no more than about 40 minutes was spent underground. It could hardly be considered a form of ghost tour. The guide told a number of stories some of which were really not of any great interest. Was far too melodramatic. Not worth the money at all.

    This tour was very interesting and scary. Shout out to our amazing tour guide Fiona. She really made the stories come alive. Not for the faint of heart. A must if you want to learn about Edinburgh's forgotten history!

    Very funny experience with Lafayette. Our ghost guide who added humor and suspense to the entire story and historical data. Great way to get to know a little bit of the secrets of this beautiful city.

    City of the Dead Tours

    This tour ventures into the most haunted section of Edinburgh’s legendary Underground City, where a population once lived in utter misery. Black as Satan’s jammies, with a fascinating history to match, these vaults were forgotten for centuries and only recently unsealed. This part of the South Bridge Vaults is known as Damnation Alley. With good reason. These dark tunnels and are stalked by a malevolent presence known as the South Bridge Entity.
