We thoroughly enjoyed the tour lead by Grant. I was pleased to hear whistling and footsteps in the Niddry St vaults and experience the Covnentars' jail. Even though the tour overran we had a thoroughly good time.

Booked at last minute as many of the other tours were fully booked. Glad we went for this one; the guide was very funny and made the experience much more enjoyable. His knowledge of the local area was clearly quite vast and we were able to learn a lot along the way, as well as having plenty of laughs. A good opportunity to visit parts of Edinburgh you'd never normally get to see

Our guide was David, and he made the tour SO incredible. I'm not sure I could ever go on it again because every other time could never live up to how great it was! He really made the whole experience great, with the addition of all the knowledge and spook factors. 20/10 would recommend
