Edinburgh Underground Tour

This tour takes you into the Edinburgh Underground, where for 1hr 15 mins you will walk through the Old Town and then descend into chambers that, for centuries, housed the poorest of the poor, criminals and those who lived outside the law.

Accompanied by a live professional guide, you will hear documented historical accounts of robbery, violence and extreme living conditions. There are no special effects or staged scares - the impact comes from the real stories and the atmosphere underground.

Once inside, many visitors notice cold spots, sudden silences or sensations that are hard to explain. Whether you feel anything unusual or not, you'll come away understanding why these vaults remain one of the most talked about and mysterious places in the city.

Highlights of the tour:

• Mercat Cross: meeting point on the historic High Street.
• Edinburgh's Old Town: stroll through medieval lanes steeped in history.
• Blair Street Underground Vaults: Exclusive descent into the city's most famous underground chambers.

Thanks to your guide, you will hear the stories of how the poor lived in these ancient underground quarters. You will have the opportunity to explore the darkened vaults, which were a haunt of criminals, body snatchers and even witches.

Although the vaults were originally used by tradesmen as warehouses and workshops, they eventually became slums, illicit drinking dens and dens of criminals.

The truth is that each chamber you enter will tell a story, whether of death, disease or crime. But the climax comes when you have a real temple of witchcraft in front of you , the famous stone circle, which you will be able to enter. Take the opportunity to take some souvenir photos.
