We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Eric. This isn’t a ‘spooky tour’ but an excellent historical tour of the Greyfryars Kirkyard and vaults. Some of Edinburgh’s history is gruesome enough without the embellishments. Eric was an excellent guide, we learned so much and he was gracious enough to answer all our questions. I would highly recommend this tour.

Loved this tour! We accidentally got a VIP tour due to being the only two people who had booked in for the time slot. I initially worried this would be a little awkward but I shouldn't have because our guide Jordan (not Jonathan) was so engaging and friendly. The focus on macabre history was fascinating (seeing foxes in Greyfriars was also a nice bonus) and the scarier portion of the tour in the vaults had my mom make me check the previous reviews to see if our guide actually existed and wasn't a ghost 😂

I recently had the pleasure of taking the Edinburgh Graveyard and Underground Vaults walking tour, led by our insightful guide Eric. We began in Greyfriars Kirkyard, strolling past the tombstones and mausoleums while hearing chilling tales of grave robbers and murderers who are laid to rest there. The story of Greyfriars Bobby, the loyal dog who guarded his owner's grave for 14 years, was especially moving. After an informative walk through the historic Grassmarket district, we descended into the creepy underground vaults on Niddry Street. This network of chambers and tunnels was once a slum inhabited by Edinburgh's poorest citizens, and our guide brought the dark history to life with stories of prostitutes, criminals, and witch covens that once dwelled there. The famous stone circle, rumored to have been used by a witches coven, was a highlight.
