Fantastic tour. Our guide Lafayette engaged with everyone in our group and was very informative. This is a wonderful walking and vault tour especially on Halloween.

Had an amazing time with Mary Stuart! 👑 Thanks for the awesome tour of Edinburgh and all its dark stories — it was super dynamic and you absolutely nailed the role of the Scottish queen. Loved the costume and makeup too, perfect ghost vibes! 👻👏

Excellent trip. David Rizzio was a fab guide. Very informative and lots of fun! Little bit dark in parts so maybe a torch would be useful.
