Reviews
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.
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.
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
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!
We learn a lot about the history of Edinburgh within a short period of time. The tour guide was also entertaining and accommodating
The underground tours were extremely amazing as you get to know the interesting stories/anecdotes and the role of undergrounds in history of Scotland's society. Truly worth it!
Interesting tour, our tour guide (fairies wife) was in character the whole time and added a nice touch of quirkyness in the storytelling.
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.
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
