The experience was very good. Overall, do not expect it to be very scare, nor not scary at all. It can make you feel uneasy but it also has some humor. The actors are mostly great. I would say it's not perfect, but it's good and different enough so as not to miss it.

We laughed, screamed and interacted from start to finish-we were on a girls trip & kept this to last day- perfect ending to a very enjoyable few days in Edinburgh

Transportation through the city's interesting spots. However, the commentary is brief, and it would be great to have more information about the sights.

The Scoth Whisky Experience was our first stop of the day and it was incredible! The tour was fun and informative, our guide Victoria was a delight, and the final stop (not gonna spoil it in a review) was a CAN NOT MISS! 100% recommend! I will say the meeting location listed in the app was incorrect and you meet inside the building not out front. The Edinburgh Dungeon was a wild time! I went to this attraction 20 years ago and it has completely changed from what it was back in the day and because I didn't look into it and expected it to just be the same two decades later, I inadvertently took my best friend to a scare experience (and she is not a fan of scare experiences) but thankfully she did enjoy herself (which is why I am able to write this today!) And I had a blast! The scare actors were incredibly talented and the scares were absolutely earned! And we both appreciated that there was no touching. That's always a point of contention here in the states with grabbing. 100% worth doing if you like history and scares!

We would recommend the visit to the Britannia resturant to anyone, the queue said it all. All the greet and meet staff through out the experience were first class.

I loved this .. the highlight of my trip to Edinburgh. The staff were amazing and played their characters superbly. Informative, interactive and lots of fun. I giggled from start to finish. I went with my very introverted daughter, who usually wouldnt entertain that sort of thing, but she played along and enjoyed the experience too.

This was such an easy way to book attractions on-line,the only issue for me as an older person & not very tech savvi ,one ticket came through quite awhile before the other,making me a bit nervous whether it was a ligit company or would I only get one ticket & not the other.All unfounded though as both tickets came through before the end of the day!
