Reviews
Fantastic tour of the underground vaults led by an experienced and knowledgeable guide. It’s genuinely creepy in the roomful of dolls in which children were locked in with the plague - a very real sense of being watched.
The Old Town and Underground Ghost Tour in Edinburgh was a really enjoyable experience, mainly because of the tour guide, James Douglas. He was extremely active, social, funny, and knew exactly how to keep everyone engaged. His sense of humor made the time fly by. Honestly, during all my travels, I have never had a tour guide this entertaining and energetic. He was genuinely very good at what he does, and it made the whole experience much better. I was expecting a little more from the tour itself besides walking around the city and visiting the underground tunnel area, but I still learned a lot about Edinburgh’s history and its magnificent architecture. Big thanks to James Douglas for the wonderful time and positive energy throughout the tour. Definitely one of the most memorable guides I’ve had during my travels.
It was a very interesting and exciting tour. Our tour guice Robbie Diggs did an amazing job being our tour guide. He knew all the fun facts and delivered the stories so vividly. 100% recommend
it was a fright must I say but good fun. enjoyed the tour and the guide was very knowledgeable as well. highly recommend this tour!
Amazing walking tour with wonderful guide and captivating stories. Must visit if you are in Edinburgh.
This was worth the money. James doughlas was our guide and he really made the stories come alive with his personality and the way he spoke. He had a great way of balancing terror and laughter in his stories. I learned a lot of new things about Edinburgh’s history and the tunnels were creepy enough for me :D
A fun experience! A guide in costume acting as Queen Mary of the Scots led us to several “spooky” underground spots in Old Edinburgh, coupled with detailed retellings of the tragedies and horrors that had happened. Evening tours certainly added the thrill to the experience.
Participate in this guided underground tour of Edinburgh's Old City on a temporary basis. The tour guides are professionally dressed as people from Edinburgh in ancient times. They will give you a vivid and realistic tour, allowing you to go deeper into the environment and better understand the situation in Edinburgh at that time. Great guided tour!
Great tour! The guide was engaging and knowledgeable, mixing history with just the right amount of spooky stories. The Old Town and underground vaults were fascinating to explore. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Edinburgh
