We had the pleasure of experiencing the Edinburgh Underground Vault Tour, and it was truly an unforgettable journey into the city's eerie past. Our guide, Aniela, was nothing short of phenomenal. For 1 hour and 15 minutes, she kept us completely captivated, relying solely on her storytelling skills – no props, no gimmicks, just her dynamic presence and engaging delivery. The tour had fascinating historical facts, seamlessly intertwined with spine-tingling ghost stories. Aniela's vivid narration brought the haunted vaults to life, making the tales feel all too real. Her ability to set the mood and evoke the dark atmosphere of the underground was remarkable. This tour is a must! Highly recommended for anyone who loves history, ghost stories, or just an excellent performance. Bravo, Aniela!
Entertaining and theatrical. Our guide, Steph, was funny and inviting - whilst also being spooky! We took a 9 year old and she was definitely a little scared - proceed with kids with caution - but our guide tried to make her as comfortable as possible, and she made it through with a smile.
