Ondergrondse gewelven wandeltocht in de oude binnenstad van Edinburgh
Beschrijving
Reis langs de Royal Mile van Edinburgh en hoor wat van de donkere geschiedenis van Edinburgh voordat u de beruchte verborgen en zogenaamd spookachtige gewelven onder de South Bridge in de oude binnenstad van Edinburgh bezoekt. Hoor verhalen over hoe de armen en ongelukkigen leefden in deze voormalige sloppenwijken. Verken deze zwak verlichte gewelven bij kaarslicht, ooit de schuilplaats van criminelen, lijkenrovers en heksen, waarvan sommigen zeggen dat ze nu bezet zijn door een paar van de geesten van deze inwoners die al lang dood zijn. Elke kluis heeft verhalen over misdaad, ziekte, dood en nog veel meer... waarmee uw Gids u zal verlichten in alle bloederige details! Je ziet een echte hekserijtempel, onlangs gebruikt door een Wicca coven en je komt in hun voormalige tempel. Kom bij ons te weten waarom het niet langer veilig is voor hen om hun vak uit te oefenen in die kluis. DURF jij in de beruchte steencirkel te stappen?

Lisa was a lovely tour guide and discussed some really unique parts of history you just wouldn’t know without doing the tour. She was also super funny and receptive to any questions. We were two early twenties tourists and enjoyed our time throughly but there were older groups and family groups who equally seemed to enjoy the tours. Great tour that is different to the classical and royal history that is common in Edinburgh. While there is some focus on superstitions, it is tied to the history of the vaults so still more enjoyable for me than purely a ghost or haunted tour. Meeting spot was a little difficult to reach due to the presence of the King in Edinburgh but I would imagine during normal periods, it wouldn’t be an issue at all. They gave the option to move tours if so desired due to the inconvenience so no bad mark against the tour company as they should such flexibility. You spent roughly half an hour on the streets and half and hour in the vaults which I think was a good time split for the size of the vaults. Our group size wasn’t too big and for around £25 pounds (which is similar to almost all tourist activities in the city) I think it was worthwhile.
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Charlie was a great guide, very informative and an excellent story teller.
I've always been fascinated by haunted history, so I was really looking forward to this tour and it completely exceeded my expectations. Walking through the underground vaults by candlelight gave me goosebumps, and there was something truly special about standing in a place with so much history and hearing the stories where they actually happened. James made the experience unforgettable. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does. He was funny, passionate, and an incredible storyteller who had everyone completely absorbed from the moment we started. He brought the history to life in a way that was both fascinating and genuinely creepy, and I found myself hanging on every word. This wasn't just another tourist attraction it felt like stepping back in time. It's an experience I'll be talking about for a long time, and if you're visiting Edinburgh, I honestly think this tour is a must. Thank you, James, for such a memorable evening. I can't recommend it highly enough!
Excellent experience.James gave us a spooky informative tour,we really enjoyed it.
A really well paced and interesting tour. Our guide Jordan was full of little bursts of history of the context building towards why the vaults exist. He pitched the tour with a combination of humour and fact that kept the tour exciting and interesting yet informative. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the city.
James was knowledgeable and funny and kind! Great trip. My 17 year old was in a crap mood before it and much better after!
Based on all of the great reviews, we were expecting something completely different. As my 15 year old said, “eh, it was mid”. There wasn’t much to see. The tour guide was nice, but didn’t have much to work with. I would not recommend.
Brilliant guide James.. very informative and paced the tour well. Bit of a challenge to find the meeting destination as it had no land marks due to building work. Aim for the tourist information pod and loiter outside the red phone box
Our tour of the underground vaults and tunnels was absolutely incredible, easily one of the highlights of our time here! Our guide, Jordan, made the experience truly special. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the vaults, sharing fascinating stories and insights that brought the past to life. His passion and depth of knowledge kept everyone fully engaged from start to finish. If you are looking for an interesting, immersive, and educational tour, I cannot recommend this enough. Huge thanks to Jordan for a memorable experience!
Definitely one of the best tours we have done! James, our tour guide was personable and informative. The vaults come with an interesting piece of Edinburgh history and is a must for travelers
