Our tour guide on Wednesday night (Nat I believe was her name) was fantastic. She knew so many little details that made the tour more fun. She is a fantastic story teller and was really funny as well. The tour itself was brilliant. The vaults were so fascinating and the graveyard at the end was definitely a bit spooky.
My wife hand some scratches on her arm that night after going into one of the graves that was haunted…
Definitely a fun experience. If I was back in Edinburgh I would do it again.
