Our tour guide James was amazing! So animated and funny and clearly passionate about the tour and company. It’s a bit more focused on being kinda spooky Vs. the history of the tunnels, the latter of which would have been my preference, hence my 4 star rating. But if you’re into that, you’ll like this!

Pretty good price for what you get. It is a somewhat walk to the entrance of the vaults, however the tour guide was really good with stopping at certain things and giving a talk about that, which felt like an added bonus if you hadn’t done any other city tours prior. Very informative and eerie inside the vaults. Quite dark and damp and smelly which adds to the authenticity of it all. The tour guide gave lots a great information.

Great guide with a great deal of knowledge, close to the Royal Mile and restaurants and bars. As it gets dark in the vaults just use your phone’s torch or bring one along.

Very much over acted! I think it should be a wee less dramatic and a wee more informative. The information provided could be found from any tour and the rooms were not spectacular.

The guide was really cute and enjoyable but oversold the vaults as far as being haunted. It didnt work and it fell flat. I wish there had been some mention of the black plague and more history surrounding that.

Stew knew so much about the history of deaths and the vaults. Learning about the executions and tortures of individuals as young as 4+ years of age, was so eye opening. Don’t go into this tour thinking it will be all rainbows and butterflies, this is a much darker type of tour. But still a lot of laughs.
