Went to the Edinburgh Dungeon and honestly had a really good time. It was fun, exciting, and kept us entertained the whole way through. The stories were interesting and mixed with humour, so it wasn’t just scary but actually really enjoyable. The best part was definitely the actors and actresses, they were so into their characters and made the experience feel super interactive. They joked with the audience, stayed in character the whole time, and really brought the scenes to life. Overall, it was a great experience and something different to do in Edinburgh. I’d totally recommend it if you’re looking for something fun, a bit spooky, and not too serious.

We had a very enjoyable experience on our visit to the dungeons. It was well organised and a smooth process on entering. All of the characters were well versed and made it realistic to an extent of life in old Edinburgh. The rooms also gave that extra bit of realism. The characters involved the majority of the people present and at times they made you jump and it was brilliant fun. My favourite part was the Mary Queen of Scots room at the end. Excellent hour or so spent and would recommend a visit if you're in Edinburgh.

This was a really good day out for my daughter and I. Obviously acting but the actors were really good. First time we have been and I'm 42 years old. Was always wanting to go and only booked it the night b4, was due to go in at 3:45pm but we got the earlier train and went in straight away with no issues so we could go and have a nice meal after it. Bought 3 souvenir photos and QR code that lasts 30 days for ÂŁ25 this gives us access to all other photos. Downloaded them and now have all photos as well

The staff were so friendly and the experience as a whole was fun and immersive. As a group we had a great time and I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Edinburgh. It's also great value for the price with that many experiences and amazing actors.

A great experience. A fantastic tour through the history of whiskey with my wonderful guide Matt. It's particularly impressive to experience the diversity of whiskeys. The small group size makes it special and memorable.

We booked the Edinburgh Zoo + Edinburgh Dungeon combo tickets through Headout and honestly had such a great time. Edinburgh Zoo was lovely to walk around, well laid out, and the animals looked well cared for. Seeing a sleepy tiger absolutely zonked out was a highlight and made for the cutest photo ever. The views over the city were a nice bonus too. The Edinburgh Dungeon was the complete opposite vibe in the best way: dark, funny, immersive, and full of brilliant actors who really committed to the experience. Booking through Headout was quick, easy, and cheaper than buying separately. Perfect combo if you want a full day that mixes wholesome animal moments with laughs, jumps, and a bit of spooky fun.

    Fantastic actors throughout the tour - have never been made to jump so much! Absolutely brilliant but I think young children will be petrified as actors just so good and terrifying!
