Had a great time on the underground vaults tour! Luisa was a fun and entertaining guide, and did a great job leading the tour. She shared the colorful history of the vaults and some en route points of interest, and added the creepy spin the vaults deserve. Very fun!
I’m glad I did see the vaults as it is very interesting such things exist under the streets above. These tours were recommended on tik tok and this particular tour group seemed to be more enthusiastic/ entertaining from the things I’ve seen on tik tok, and that is exactly what we got, James, our guide was so enthusiastic and a nice guy, you could tell he likes his job and so it’s lovely to listen & learn about the vaults from him. We enjoyed the tour!
We had a fantastic experience with Brendan! With a good balance of history, drama, and spookiness he managed to be everything we could have wanted from a tour guide! It was very informative and interesting with lots of local history of an otherwise hidden part of the Old Town. Brendan was funny and high energy throughout the tour and we thoroughly enjoyed his take on the odd goings on from the vaults!
Fantastic hour! We had James guide us around, who was brilliant! You could tell he loved his job and loved teaching everyone the secrets of the vaults! We booked at the office 10mons before it started (visit in October + using the Scottish Pass) and ended up on effectively a private tour as noone else came so win win for us!
Our guide Ally was a great storyteller, very available for any questions and recommendations. Also a very entertaining tour, with lots of good jokes by our guide. The overall tour lives up to expectations of both spookiness and curiosities.
