Worth it - We'd booked this as a finale to my 40th trip to the gorgeous city that is Edinburgh. It was really very good. Ryan, our guide used the right amount of spook and humour, was very knowledgeable and very friendly. We went on the last tour of the day which finished at 10pm so by then the kirkyard was suitably atmospheric. The vaults were very creepy. Very cool, unusual experience.

An unforgettable experience - Our guide Nat was simply amazing. He told us all about ghosts, legends and scary stories. With a natural talent, he kept the whole group alive and well disposed, also providing some very scary moments, with comedy to ease, and ensure that the whole group was having fun. No doubt one of the best experiences of our trip, much thanks to Nat.

Really enjoyable - Got given gift vouchers for this, 3 tours to chose from so the Double Dead we decided on. Rebecca was our guide, she was funny entertaining and great at telling the stories and history as we went around. Vaults we interesting to see, wouldn't really know they were there, when walking around Edinburgh. Graveyard was eerie, was a clear night which made it extra spooky... Very interesting tour, and good to learn about the history and hardship that took place Thanks for a great experience

Spooky, historical but fun! - Ryan led a great tour with the energy and humour to keep even the highest of groups engaged and entertained Great info and knowledge mixed with some spooky surroundings made for a great way to spend a couple of hours on a cold Edinburgh night! Hopefully this review lifts the curse!

Good tour - good English skills important! - A guided tour of the South Bridge Vaults and the cemetery. The tour is in English, you should have a good knowledge of English, otherwise the tour can be lengthy quickly. There are a lot of stories being told. It got quite cold in the evening and the long standing in the cemetery was a bit exhausting due to the low temperatures. Otherwise a nice tour. Our guide went to great lengths to tell the stories in an exciting way.
