5.00This was the perfect mix of cheesy and funny. I liked that it included a good bit of information on Edinburgh’s dark history. Tommy Terror was the perfect guide for this tour.

4.00I’m so glad me and my friend did this attraction on the first day of our trip to Edinburgh because it offered us so much local lore and information that I’m sure we wouldn’t have had access to otherwise. It was a spooky and interactive experience, the tour guide, Tommy Terror, did an excellent job of keeping us entertained throughout the 1h+ session.
A spooky, fun and informative tour!
