Very scary (in a good way) - Very exciting. The actors were really motivated and interacted a lot with the us. Many jump scares. Really funny and scary experience (in a good way of course). The pictures they take at the beginning are very funny too. Since my native language is not English and i’m not used to a strong scottish accent i sometimes had a hard time understanding a few things, but that’s honestly on me ^_^

Fun horror experience - So happy, familiar with the concept from before. London's variant is a bit better but fun with Edinburgh inspired would love to visit again

Fun, facts and scary but very enjoyable experience 👍🏻 - It was a fantastic experience, very entertaining and lots of interesting facts. Get to know a bit more of Edinburgh history. All actor and actress very professional and the hand over from one story to another is very smooth! The mini ride was a real surprise. More than we expect 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Worth a visit - Wasn’t sure what to expect from this tour. But it was brilliant. Highly recommend a visit. When booking I thought the tickets were quite dear, but once we experienced the whole thing it well worth it. Top tip book a day in advance online and can get cheaper tickets.

Edinburgh dungeon - The staff were amazing, we wish we got the first guy who takes you into get your photos as he was so lovely and we bonded over all the many dungeons we’ve have been too! The experience itself was so much fun and was just a good as the other dungeons we have been too. We met an amazing staff member called Hunter ! They told us where to go afterwards for food and drinks as well as made our experience special, thank you so much to all !! Highly recommend and we will probably return to do it all over again one day !

Good giggle - Enjoyed this with family on my husbands Birthday. Fun and giggles, with a few jump-scares the actors were great. Bit expensive for what it was though.

Not scary, but a few good jokes - It's not scary, but with a lot of jump scares. Some good jokes; the actors were good, but the script was long and hard to follow.

Dungeon experience - A nice experience. Great Acting and customs. I just can’t help comparing it with the London Dungeons , I feel the stories were more enjoyable there. But overall a nice experience and evident the hard work put in place.

Gid actors need help with the creators o this wee show to enhance visitor interaction experience! - I found the overall experience just ok but rather " wooden" considering the advances in AI and computer gererated graphics and light displays used globally in other theme parks/ events. Its a ghost tour with dark rooms. Granted my child of 8 years was scared and left with her Mum due to the descriptive style of gruesome story telling, and hobbit like creatures crawling around.However i found the actors good, their delivery good👍 the smell of piss in the street? Was it real urine used fir the smell was really gid life like Gorgie road oan a matchday😂
