About this experience

Enjoy a picturesque stroll through the paved streets of Edinburgh’s Old Town. All is not as it seems as you explore the murkier side of Edinburgh’s long and famous history. With this ghostly guided tour, you’ll venture below the ancient alleyways and into the famous haunted Blair Street Underground Vaults.

Your spookily cloaked guide will regale you with fantastically horrifying tales of the city’s past. Once storage areas for businesses and shops in the area, the vaults were transformed into slums and the city’s red-light district, with more than a grisly tale or two. You’ll hear of the torrid conditions, rampant crime and unsettled spirits as you’re treated to a flavour of life, and death, in Old Edinburgh.

Above ground, you’ll explore the streets of Old Town, visiting the shadowy closes and claustrophobic alleyways off the Royal Mile. While you’ll see the streets in the safety of daylight, once you venture underground, the vaults always lie in shadow!

“Made me scared of something I don't believe in! ”

Our guide, Helena, was absolutely fantastic and the way she told the stories made me feel in that moment terrified. I don't even believe in ghosts but the suspense she created and the way she told the stories made me really indulge in the experience. I highly recommend!
