Edgar was very entertaining and made it interesting. He gave us a lot of background on what happened in those tunnels and really helped set the mood so you could imagine what it was like.

Wonderful evening with colorful descriptive tales of Edinburgh’s eerie past ! More entertaining than “spooky” but a very fun evening Ruth reminded us of our granddaughter so she was extra endearing to us

Excellent! Garret is a fantastic storyteller! I feel fortunate to have had him as the guide. It was a wonderful surprise to spend a relaxing dram of whisky in Megget's and listen to more captivating ghost stories.

The guide was funny! She did gave me a few scares tho. I saw many reviews on how small the vaults are but it isnt at all. I find them pretty spacious. The ghost stories might make you feel uneasy though if you are travelling alone.

The stories could have been more interesting. But the tour guide was very good and the scenery was a lot of fun.

Stephanie is the best guide! These tours can typically be pretty campy and cheesy which is why I kinda love them, but Stephanie did a fantastic job of cheekiness, horror, and drama. Totally recommend!
