We visited the vaults in August 2017 with our two sons (14 and 17 years old). They first came reluctantly, but after the very entertaining and inspiring tour (led by guide Samuel) they came out claiming this was one of the best holiday family activities...More

My husband and I did the Underground vault and cemetery tour. The tour was very interesting, however what made the tour really good was the guide himself. Without his enthusiasm and story telling skills, it won't have been that great of tour. Def would recommend...More

I would recommend this tour. Our tour guide was Artemis whom was great fun, very knowledgeable and brought the history of Edinburgh to life for us. There are some steps and uneven floors and it is dark underground, which could be a problem for people...More

This tour is not for those with mobility problems, ie a lot of walking up and downhill. It is almost all over cobblestones and, although the guide made allowances (letting me meet them further along), I missed some of the tour and felt this was...More

I did Mercat tours guided walk which included the underground vaults and the drink at the end of the tour. I chose this one because it was longer and seemed like better value. I had it in my mind we were going to see crypts,...More
