Neave was an excellent tour guide, her knack for storytelling and especially ghost stories was amazing. To see the underground vaults, this particular piece of Edinburgh’s history was very interesting and I would really this tour to anyone who likes a little horror, and a lot of interesting history facts.

We enjoyed our tour very much. It was paced very well and our guide was exceptional. A history I was not aware of before taking this tour. And the whisky and conversation at the end was a fun way to end the tour.

A great way to get to know more about some of the Edinburgh ghosts. We were lucky to have Marie as our tour guide as she was truly excellent and I believe she made this tour even better with her own way of narrating the stories. I definitely recommend this tour for a more spooky experience!
