Subterrâneo Vaults Excursão a pé na Cidade Velha de Edimburgo
Descrição
Viaje ao longo da Royal Mile de Edimburgo ouvindo algumas das histórias mais sombrias de Edimburgo antes de visitar os infames cofres escondidos e supostamente perseguidos sob a Ponte Sul na Cidade Velha de Edimburgo. Ouça histórias de como os pobres e infelizes viviam nessas antigas favelas. Explore esses caixões iluminados pela luz da vela, uma vez a perseguição de criminosos, sequestradores de corpos e bruxas, dizendo que alguns agora estão ocupados por alguns dos espíritos desses moradores há muito mortos. Cada cofre tem histórias de crime, doença, morte e muito mais... com o qual seu Guia irá iluminar você em todos os detalhes horríveis! Você verá um verdadeiro templo de feitiçaria, usado recentemente por um coven Wiccan e você entrará em seu antigo templo. Junte-se a nós para aprender por que não é mais seguro para eles praticar seu artesanato naquele cofre. Você se atreve a entrar no infame círculo de pedra?

Entertaining, fascinating and interesting . As it is predominantly underground just be careful on stairs and need to duck your head in places but the guide reminds you of this Thank you for a great experience Jordan
Lisa was an amazing guide . Not only learned a lot of history , but her humor was like no other. Really enjoyed the whole tour.
This was one of two underground vault tours we booked. Very informative and intriguing. The length of the tour was appropriate for the subject. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable of the subject matter. Finding out people had to live in those conditions was heartbreaking - along with the history of the vaults as it related to the brutal conditions. The rediscovery of the vaults after being forgotten is a good history lesson. Additionally, the "spirits" of the vaults capture the imagination. The cost was reasonable for the activity. Small group tour in a crowded area (Tattoo and Fringe timeframe).
The Vaults tour was both informative and entertaining. Brendan was an excellent guide, and possessed a wonderful talent for keeping us on our toes and making us laugh, despite the sordid history of the vaults. A great way to get a bit of extra history of Edinburgh in addition to the history of the vaults and South Bridge and Cowgate. Very much recommended!
Really enjoyed this walking tour, was very well organized and the guide that took us was very knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions that was asked. Great experience.
Really good and informative tour had James as a guide and he made it worthwhile. He was funny and witty and ensured we all had a good time and had passion about the tour
Brilliant tour from Jordan (aka Jonathan ) very interesting and knowledgeable tour
We were quite disappointed with this tour, mainly because it was difficult to follow and did not feel very engaging. The biggest issue for us was the guide’s very strong Scottish accent combined with speaking quite quickly and with very few pauses. As non-native English speakers, we found large parts of the commentary difficult to understand. There also wasn’t much sense of interaction with the group or checking whether people were following the story. A surprising amount of attention seemed to go into managing the group — making sure random passers-by did not join, keeping everyone together, positioning people correctly, etc. — rather than developing the historical content of the tour. It is also worth managing expectations about the “underground vaults.” Roughly half of the tour takes place outside in the Old Town. The second half is in the vaults, but these are not really “underground” in the sense you might imagine from something like the Paris Catacombs. Because Edinburgh is built on hills and multiple levels, they feel more like enclosed rooms on a lower level of the city. The area we visited was small, warm and dry rather than dark, deep or atmospheric. Inside the vaults, the guide became very loud, at times uncomfortably so, and added some theatrical acting to the stories. That part was not terrible, but it felt more like a performance than the historical tour we had expected. Overall, the experience simply wasn’t for us. If you enjoy theatrical storytelling and can easily understand fast Scottish English, you may enjoy it more. But for non-native English speakers or people expecting a substantial underground historical site, I would suggest adjusting your expectations before booking.
A lot of walking and stairs, so be mindful if you use a cane or get tired easily. Nice history and backstory. Very dim lighting in vaults, so not for someone afraid of the dark.
The guide, James made this tour. He was knowledgeable and really good fun which kept everybody interested. His love of the job shines through and his enthusiasm was infections. We had a great time, laughed and learnt a lot too. Well done James.
