Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Absolutely amazing! I loved every single part of it and so did my friends, it does say underground but there is part of the tour which is above ground in a graveyard but it was still amazing! Sawney Beane was the best tour guide and made me feel connected with everything he was talking about, it was absolutely phenomenal

Definitely not what I expected but in a totally good way, Dr Knox made our tour the most entertaining 1,5 h, prepare to laugh and not be bored for one second.
Tour wasn’t so much about ghosts but more scary stories from Edinburgh “dirty” past. Still defo recommend, thanks Dr Knox. Now back to viaducts back at home.
