Educational and Entertaining

Published on Mar, 2025

Roger and Michael (?) were amazing! Great tour, relatively short, highly entertaining and educational, and budget-friendly. I would gladly go on another tour with these two men as the guides/leaders.

Explore a part of city that can not be seen. Really worthwhile. The fact that the tour tool place in the night gave a special atmosphere

Great first night in Edinburgh experience

Published on Mar, 2025

Jack was a charming host for the evening. Had a great mix of history, storytelling the macabre and ghost stories. Especially enjoyed the nighttime candle-lit vaults.

10/10 spooky vibes

Published on Feb, 2025

Booked this for my boyfriend’s first trip to Edinburgh as he’s obsessed with ghosts and ghost stories. Our guide Steph was really knowledgeable and funny and knew a lot about the history of Edinburgh and the vaults. Super spooky and a great experience, would definitely recommend if you’re coming to the city.
