    A punctual and well organised tour. Dr Knox took us around- what a natural story teller! We had loads of fun, and were in stitches with his jokes. The tour took us around streets of the Old Town, Greyfriars cemetery and the Underground Vaults. Spooky enough for some members of the group!

    We had an amazing evening with Major Thomas Weir. The only negative was the size of the group while he tried his best to grasp the group and bring us in closer to hear, I think it was out of his hands due to the size. He paid a lot of attention to details and was a very good guide. Thank you Major Thomas Weir!

    Jessie was fun and had great stories but…. The group was TOO big so you couldn’t hear Jessie at times. It was walking a lot with two or three stops that were anticlimactic. It was nice to see some food went places in the dark but was hoping for more excitement.
