We did the hour and a half (ish) tour but you can extend this to include a free drink and more ghost stories. With kids 9 and 10 this was perfect. Is it scary - no but our kids like a good horror story. Those of a nervous disposition may think otherwise. Wrap up warm if you are going on... More

We went on the tour of the underground vaults of the southern bridge- definitely worth a go. In a city that has a rich history like Edinburgh, this was very interesting.

Worth while experience, very entertaining and historically interesting. The Tour Guide we has was excellent, she not only ensured the right atmosphere she was friendly, attentive, and a very good raconteur.

The whole tour was very interesting. The facts about the darker history of Edinburgh could be gruesome but good stories. The guides knowledge was very good and could answer all questions asked, infact our guide Stuart was very entertaining aswell, The best part of the Ghost tour was obviously the haunted vaults, where all three of our party experienced unexplainable...
