Overview

Join us for a darkly entertaining, but family friendly, afternoon jaunt through the Old Town of Edinburgh and one of its famous underground vaults. Let one of our enthusiastic, knowledgeable guides, dressed in period costume, lead you through this historic neighbourhood while sharing some fascinating tales from the more bloody side of Scotland’s past, involving murder, bodysnatching, witchcraft and even cannibalism. For the second half of the tour descend into our exclusive section of underground and explore its intriguing but sinister haunted chambers.

What's included

  • Visit the South Bridge vaults, find out how they came to be and what may dwell within them
  • Walk the labyrinthine, beautiful and wholly unique closes of the Old Town and discover their sometimes tragic but always interesting past.
  • Due to an afternoon start and a lighter tone, these tours are suitable for children.
  • Led by a guide playing a real individual from Edinburgh’s history and dressed in clothes suitable for that person’s era.
  • A 60-minute long walking tour of the Old Town and Underground vaults.
