Meg was our tour guide. She was informative, and very entertaining and funny. We really enjoyed the experience
Wow! This was an experience of a lifetime! This is an Edinburgh must-do.. more so than the castle!
The history and the associated stories were incredible but our tour guide Ryan really brought it to a whole new level! Seriously, someone from Broadway should recruit Ryan!
We did the Double Dead Tour and it was hands down the best 2 hours of our entire vacation this far!
At first, it may seem a little morbid to do a tour like this. But, the reality is that Scotland was a rough and brutal place to live hundreds of years ago and the underground was one of the most miserable places to live. Bad stuff happened and the underground was sealed off for what was supposed to be forever and forgotten about.
This tour unseals the history of those people who suffered with exciting ghost stories to accompany. The underground of Edinburgh is a first hand archeological encounter with a fascinating history of the city.
After the underground experience, we made our way to a historically significant graveyard that has been preserved beautifully with the assistance of the tour company's donations and minimizing foot traffic through the area. Again, we got to hear some fascinating accounts of Scotland's and Edinburgh's dark history.
Finally...Ryan! I can't speak for the other guides but Ryan is the most enthusiastic guide we've ever had! He kept his audience engaged in the experience instead of just regurgitating a script. He really brought the City of the Dead experience to life... pun intended. Seeing the historic spaces in Edinburgh was amazing on its own but we felt that Ryan was the true cornerstone to making the entire night fun, educational, and memorable!

We had an amazing experience on the Edinburgh underground tour with the equally amazing Lou our guide. She is an amazing storyteller, could answer all my questions and was honest about the past, and had an understanding of the plight of the people whose stories she was telling.
Great visit, very interesting to be see the rooms and hear about the lives of people that lived in these buildings 100’s of years ago, well worth a visit.
Our tour guide Megan was very good.

thanks nathalie for a great tour and fantastic performance. I liked the moment where we could experience the (near) pitch black darkness.
Natalie was an amazing tour guide. Talkative, an amazing personality and happy to answer our questions. The atmosphere she set whilst storytelling was top tier. Before the tour we arrived early in the pouring rain and she happily talked away to us and made us feel very welcome and excited for the tour.
Fantastic experience. Our guide Nat was full of knowledge and very entertaining. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in the history of Edinburgh.
