It's something you must do if you are in Edinburgh. It is very scary, but you will enjoy it and learn about the dark side of Edinburgh. You will learn historical facts that happened from the 17th century on. It's very interesting and the actors are superb. It is very well done. Kudos to the actors. It is also safe, as the actors won't touch you at all and they are very careful with safety. It is very important to know it I think.

My nephew and myself had a great time at Edinburgh Dungeons. I loved the history and my nephew loved the laughs.

Really great way to see the city and stop at the most well known sightseeing, especially in the rainy weather.

So much fun you’ll have a great laugh. Definitely worth doing

Great price and pickup every 10 mins right near our hotel.
