Interesting tour of Edinburgh underground - Maggie Dickson did a very nice job. She provided an interesting history with nicely-timed humor. I recommend this for folks wanting a short tour to areas not usually visited in Edinburgh

Big Up Aniele - Aniele is a theatrical and dramatic storyteller, my Dad was very impressed! We did the night walk tour, half an hour above ground and half an hour in the vaults underground, and thoroughly enjoyed it!

Great storytelling! - This was a nice finish to our day of exploring the city. The history and stories from the dark underbelly of the city are fascinating as is the visit to the underground vaults. Great storytelling!

Well Worth the Visit - The tour was really good! Everyone was friendly, sociable, and there if you needed assistance or had any concerns. Aniela was an absolutely amazing storyteller and certainly made the tour well worth it. Her storytelling gave way to a truly immersive, spooky experience. My friends and I, (even the ones that are absolutely terrified of the paranormal and grotesque), thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. If we were staying longer, we would definitely check out another experience offered by this place.

Torture and Ghost Stories - Our tour guide, Neave, was so animated, such a really good actor, that she made every ghost and torture story come alive for our group. Very enjoyable experience!

Great Stories - I enjoyed the stories told and how animated Shannon was! Every person I interacted with the company was wonderful! If you’re looking to get scared and you’re like me who watched horror movies for fun, you won’t get scared. It’s a little cheese in that aspect but it was fascinating seeing the history and listening to the stories. Lots of fun, just adjust your expectations if you are thinking you’ll get scared, it’s more of a fun creepy.
