“I recently did an underground ghost tour in Edinburgh and it was brilliant from start to finish. The atmosphere in the vaults was creepy, dark, eerie and full of history, which made the whole experience feel really immersive. What really made the tour stand out, though, was our guide. He was dramatic and captivating when telling the stories, but also funny at just the right moments to keep the group engaged and entertained. The balance of scares, storytelling and humour was spot on. If you’re visiting Edinburgh and enjoy a good ghost story with a theatrical twist, I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. It was spooky, fascinating and great…”
