Go! - Lafayette was hilarious, informative and keeps you engaged! Couldn’t recommend enough! Shows you some interesting sites around Edinburgh with some grim facts that showcase the reality of living there back in the day. Such a fun little thing to add to your trip!

Lafayette, “The Magician” of Ghost Tourism - Lafayette was an incredible tour guide - engaging, knowledgeable, and funny! He kept the group moving and entertained. He also made personal connections with each person on the tour. It felt special and not your average cookie-cutter tour. What a wonderful, memorable first evening in Edinburgh! 10/10 - Highly recommend! ~Just a couple Ohioans (Megan & Neil)

Awesome nighttime Edinburgh tour with Lafayette - Lafayette was a wonderful tour guide! Although he chopped this Ohio kid’s ear off (kidding), he was funny, energetic, and knowledgeable. I would recommend him and this tour to anyone looking for a different kind of tour in Edinburgh!

Disappointing experience - Very childish and not scary at all. The guide didn’t speak loudly enough, her English wasn’t very good and the vault seemed fake with plastic skeletons and decorations. Disappointing experience.

Disappointed - I hesitate to write this because I don’t want to be negative. However, with so many 5 star reviews, I want to set reasonable expectations for people who are considering this tour. This is a large tour company in Edinburgh. Maybe others had a better experience with a more confident guide. Our tour, however, was one of the worse I’ve experienced. It was disjointed, awkward, and uninformed. Our guide told stories that did not make sense. There were also too many people.
