What I loved most was exploring Edinburgh’s underground vaults and learning about the city’s dark and fascinating history. The atmosphere was brilliant, and hearing the stories about the paranormal activity and seeing the historical torture exhibition made it a really unique and memorable experience! 👻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Nick is an absolute tour guide vibe. Incredible story teller and so conscientious of what others may be uncomfortable with. Without a doubt an incredible end to an amazing day for us. Big up Nick!

Die ganze Tour lebt vom Guide und meiner war exzellent. Wirklich krasse Geschichten, die schon in der Erzählung gruseln. Vorsicht: Die Vaults sind mal eiskalt, mal heiß, mal feucht. Eine Teilnehmerin ist zusammengeklappt, aber das hat der Guide sehr gut im Griff gehabt.
