Jack made this tour worth every penny of it. He kept the experience funny yet spooky, and the way he told the stories fitted right into the cold and damp Edinburgh aura. Great way to explore the city and learn its history. The last part where you sit in a cozy area and get a drink with everyone is even better! Mind you, it is cold in the vaults though.
Mike was a fantastic guide - very passionate and knowledgeable
