The World Famous Underground Ghost Tour
Description
Experience the world's most haunted city on a ghost tour of Edinburgh and be spooked by one of the city's most infamous sons as they lead you around the dark side of the Old Town. Discover the hidden wynds (alleys) off the Royal Mile and hear some of Edinburgh’s horrifying secrets. Then, visit what is regarded as the most haunted graveyard in the world at "Greyfriars Kirkyard." Finally, go deep underground and explore the Edinburgh Vaults beneath the streets. Completed in 1788, the series of chambers were used to house taverns and as storage space for illicit material, including the bodies of people killed by serial killers Burke and Hare for their medical experiments. Journey through over 400 years of history and hear terrifying true tales of hangings, torture, murders and witchcraft. Shiver at the weird noises and unexplained smells that make an appearance after dark!

It was a fun tour. Tight quarters and dark rooms are worth noting in case that bothers you. Jon kincadaid did a fantastic job and kept the tour moving.
John Wincaid did a wonderful job of explaining the history of the underground and defining what it was like to live there.
John was so much fun! He was very knowledgeable and gave us a few jump scares! Highly recommend this tour@
The ghost tour did not meet our expectations of a ghost tour. It was more comedic then a ghost tour. No actors. No scary incidents. It was a walking tour with stories. The underground and cemetery components were fun but short lived. Our guide James Douglas was great. The tour was only 50 minutes long and not 1-5 tours. We expected to be scared at some point and it never happened. I think this tour is not advertised correctly for what it really is.
This tour was soooo much fun. Our tour guide Lafayette was incredible at maintaining our attention and keeping the group engaged. We learned a lot of fun facts and had a few scares along the way. The best part was definitely seeing part of the underground while hearing spooky tales. Would definitely recommend!
As soon as we saw the guide David Rizzio with his fan we knew it was going to be fun & it certainly was! Would highly recommend this tour, our guide was knowledgeable, engaging and literally had us in tears laughing. Having never done a tour like this we were so glad we did! Just book in advance as tours sell out.
Wow loved this amazing space amazing actors so so good
I experienced Good atmosphere
Meeting point easy to find. John thr guide was good, funny and engaging . However, it's described as an underground ghost tour, but it's only 20 mins underground . The rest is just a visit to a graveyard.
Another tour was right behind us completely ruined experience guide was good would not do this tour again
