I was in edinburgh for a bit of pre christmas shopping and thought after seeing the vaults and mary kings cross on tv i would go. Went to the Mary Kings place it was so dull, no talk of ghosts except for a taped story that was awful. Went on city of dead tour it was ok but i loved... more

Went to this in hope we would get spooked oot oor heids. The biggest fright we got all night was oor mate tripping ower some dodgy kerbing. Shame it wisne the tour guide that fell ower, she was rude and cheeky and needed and i had to block out the noise of her screeching annoying voice after 5 minutes. The... more

Well what can I say about the Auld Reekie Terror Tour? A complete and utter waste of time and money. The Plus side is....we've tried it and know never to try it again! The tour guide was about 12 (sense my sarcasm) and it seemed like she didny have a clue at all what she was going on about. In... more

I think it was strange, that we go upstairs, instead of downstairs. I think it was a student, she didn`t know much about it. It is a waste of time, and money. We did not get any cleverer. more

We have just been on a study trip to Edinburgh, and we had a historical tour that was very good and exciting. So we tried the underground tour expecting it to be just as interesting but alas, it was worthless and made us feel exploited and stupid. Do not go. more

Expected a late night tour of the vaults but instead I was taken up to St.Giles cathedral by a tour guide who was no more than a child and talked as though she had read the script five minutes before the tour started.Far too many people on the tour (around 30), half the men were bladdered. The vaults were an... more

we went twice on a Saturday the earlier 5.30 pm tour ( £7) and the later 10.30 pm tour. The earlier tour was fantastic,informative and great value at only £7, we spent almost an hour in the vaults and really enjoyed the experience, I would say the only thing that spoilt it was the numbers there were about 30 people... more

If you go on this tour expecting to see a ghost, you will probably be dissapointed (ghosts don't really exist you see.) If you go on this tour expecting to learn some interesting history and walk around in creepy vaults getting the poo scared out of you by a Scottish man in eccentric clothes telling stories, you won't be dissapointed.... more
