Fun, Spooky, and Family-Friendly – A Must-Do in Edinburgh!

5.00We did this tour as a family with kids aged 10 to 15, and it was a fantastic experience! Our guide was incredibly entertaining—not cheesy, but the perfect mix of spooky and fun. He had a great sense of humor and clearly knew his stuff, which made the whole tour engaging for both kids and adults. The vaults were definitely my favorite part—dark, eerie, and gave me genuine chills (in the best way!). The stories throughout the graveyard and underground were fascinating and well-delivered. Highly recommend this tour for families looking for something different and memorable.
