    Definitely visit!
    Absolutely fantastic!! We booked a weekend with the actor section at the beginning. Was Absolutely worth the £14 admission. David (I think!) Was brilliant!! He really got you into the sotry of the jail and his acting is really spot on and kept you engaged. Couldn't recommend a visit highly enough if you're in Stirling.
    Thank you, Julianne. David will be so glad that his performance added to your enjoyment of the Old Town Jail. He's our historian and scriptwriter, as well as being an old ham. Engaging visitors entertainingly in such a dark subject can sometimes be a challenge, and he's always happy when visitors appreciate our efforts. Hope to see you again.

    Brilliant attraction with even better guide
    Extremely interesting attraction but elevated to another level by David the tour guide who not only puts on an amazing performance but went out of his way to reassure and amuse our daughter who was a bit hesitant of the dark and strange noises in the attraction. Not only did he he make sure she knew it was all just a story and a show but that let her into some of the tricks to make sure she enjoyed it as much as possible. Absolutely would recommend anyone visiting the town to seek this one out
    Thank you for your review of our Crime & Punishment performance tour at Stirling Old Town Jail. We make sure to fit the performance to the audience to give the most appropriate experience. David, being our most experienced tour guide is evidently very good at this. We are happy you enjoyed your visit and hope you visit again in the future. Perhaps to experience one of our two escape rooms.

    Superb! Definitely an amazing experience 🫶
    Wow! We have just finished a tour, and the actor Adam was out of this world amazing! We loved all the different characters. The whole tour was fascinating. The 360° views from the top of the tower are breathtaking, and a definite must!
    The views from the Old Town Jail's Observation Tower are, indeed, spectacular- and we're so glad you enjoyed Adam's performance. Hope we'll see you again

    Fantastic Afternoon Out
    A very fun filled visit to the old town jail. Adam is a fantastic actor, funny and very informative! We had a great afternoon! Special thanks to you and the fella on reception ( who also does the ghost tours, we never caught his name) who went above and beyond to educate us about stirling! The views from the top were phenomenonal! Definitely worth the price and exceeded our expectations! Thank you guys! We will certainly be recommending you to all friends and family who may visit stirling in the future! :)
    Thank you. I'm glad that we made a good impression. The Jail has a rich and colourful history, and we do our very best to share that with our visitors. Adam is a fine performer, and David's enthusiasm for the Burgh's history is legendary. Hope we'll see you again.

    We loved it!
    I highly recommend this little tour. I went with my husband and my 5 year old son and we all loved it. My son was a little afraid he was going to jail and was paying lots of attention to what the actor was saying. A must to those passionate about history. Very entertaining, definitely worth a visit in Stirling.
    Glad you enjoyed your experience of the Old Town Jail.David is an old hand at calming nervous youngsters, so I'm glad he was able to put the lad atease. Come back later in the year for our seasonal Hallowe'en and Christmas Tours.

    Highlight of Stirling
    Highlight of our visit to Stirling! Adam was our jail tour guide and was incredible! He had so much character and was great at the storytelling! We also booked the jail break escape room and our guide for this was Jo. I absolutely LOVED the escape room and Jo was fantastic! Highly recommend!
    Very happy to hear that Adam and Jo made your visit memorable and enjoyable. The Old Town Jail has a lot to offer, and we're famous for our friendly Jailers, in both our Escape Rooms and Performance Rooms. Hope we'll see you again.

    So interesting!
    I’ve always wanted to visit this attraction and finally did it! I took my 5 year old son and he absolutely loved it as much as me. The tour guide (David) was brilliant and he really engaged with his audience. It’s full of interesting history and it blew my mind!
    Really glad you enjoyed your visit to the Old Town Jail, Jenna - a fascinating building with a colourful history. Our performance tours are always a highlight, and a great way to engage kids of all ages. David is our historian, and trains our performers, so he'll be so happy to hear he and the Jail both left a good impression on you both

    Didn't think I was going to laugh in jail!
    I am so glad we visited here while in the area. David was absolutely amazing, his characters really brought the history of the jail to life, and he was so funny! Definitely worth a visit, great fun and a valuable learning experience.
    David is an old hand at the Old Town Jail tour, and tries hard to make a grim subject accessible and entertaining - but (as our historian) without compromising the facts. He'll be so glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit

    Entertaining!
    Had a great visit and tour with our party aged 17 - 82! Miserable day but our guide Jonathan banished all thoughts of the weather as he delivered a most engaging and informative tour of the jail! Jumped quite a few times throughout his performance!!!🤣 Thank you so much - we had a blast!
    We're glad to hear you enjoyed your day at the Old Town Jail! Our performance tours are a great way to entertain the whole family! Jonathan is a brilliant actor and will be glad to hear how much you enjoyed his performance, hope to see you again for our seasonal tours later in the year
