4.00Did tour in the dark, only light used was a flashlight and your own phone light. Great stories, no jump scares, and our tour guide, Darren, was kind and funny. This tour was not theatrical but it would’ve been cool to see the guide dressed in something other than regular clothes to set the tone. The vaults and graveyard stories were interesting and one story easily led into the other. The night of the tour, I woke at 3am, to a skinny man with grey hair standing at the edge of my bed. I’ve had “the hag” before and it reminded me a lot of the same experience, but I find it hard to believe that having the hag after this experience was a coincidence.

5.00We enjoyed learning about the history of graveyards and the vaults. We also loved walking and exploring the little streets, as well as parts of Edinburgh we would not have thought about exploring.
Worth the money

5.00It was very informative and interesting. The guide, Darren obviously knew his stuff and it was fascinating hearing all the different stories. Though there are repeats from other tours (unavoidable) there were still new stories we hadn't heard before.
Amazing tour, also...
