About this activity

Would you be brave enough to visit the top most haunted place in Edinburgh and the 4th most haunted place on the same tour? This tour takes in the Greyfriar's Kirkyard, home of the famous Greyfriar's Bobby, and also the incredible South Bridge Vaults.

The graveyard at Greyfriar's is full of gothic monuments and rotting corpses, whose names were made famous in many novels and history books. Grim history saturates this special place and our guide will be very happy to enlighten you in all the gory details!

Then on to the infamous and haunted Niddry Street underground vaults, probably the scariest place in the world! Hear of the regular paranormal occurrences and how some of characters from history seem to have never left... Once home to the destitute, prostitutes, criminals, witches and a hellfire club, our Haunted Vault is now possessed by something evil that awaits you.

Please wear stout footwear, and this tour is not suitable for those under 16 or those of a nervous disposition. You have been warned!!!

I'm into history so I found this tour interesting. I wish I could remember our guide's names but she was funny and a good story teller and made the tour fun and interesting.

Our tour with Auld Reekie Tours was fantastic. Our guide was super and really added life to the tour. I'm not gonna lie - it was pretty scary at times. Highly recommend though.

A waste of time and money. Did not spend ten minutes in the graveyard and the underground vaults were under a bridge not underground.

So sad that I can't remember the guide's name but I know she was originally from Norway, and she was just wonderful! She knew so much about the graveyard and vaults, and her delivery was fantastic! I was totally unprepared for how freaked out I would be in the vaults, but I still loved hearing the stories about the different encounters she had had or seen other people have. I totally recommend this company, the stone circle room is seriously scary.

I decided to sign up for this tour because I wanted to experience Greyfriars Kirchyard at night and hear dark tales and to visit the underground city in Edinburgh. The tour was well worth the time and the tour guide was entertaining and informative. If you are planning on visiting Edinburgh I would give high recommendations to visit the Dark side of Edinburgh....if you dare.
