What to expect
Venture beneath Edinburgh’s streets and discover the city’s most haunted underground vaults in the city — a chilling world of shadows and secrets, the Blair Street Underground Vaults. This multi-sensory immersive ghost tour offers a spine-tingling glimpse into true tales of Edinburgh’s dark past.
Abandon thoughts of manufactured frights and make-believe scares it’s the true history that haunts. The skill is in the enhanced storytelling.
Your cloaked Master Storyteller will lead you through the shadowy closes of Edinburgh’s Old Town. These dark and dreary streets are untouched by daylight, filled with a strange silence
It’s all the more chilling for being absolutely real: there are no spooks, tricks or jump scares on our Edinburgh ghost tours.
