Excellent tour and guide

Published on Mar, 2025

Rachel was a excellent guide. Her energy, enthusiasm and storytelling made this a memorable experience. It so easily could be one of those boring historic lecture type tours but Rachel's ability to engage the group was excellent.

Brilliantly eerie

Published on Mar, 2025

Had a brilliant Haunted Vaults Tour on a Saturday early evening. Was really well carried out with the right balance of quirky facts, gruesome details and interesting history! Amy our guide did an amazing job of creating atmosphere with a little bit humour and was great for a bit chat etc whole we waited for others to join (without being tacky or overdone like some tours!) Would really recommend and thank you again Amy!

Thank you Ally for a great tour

Published on Mar, 2025

Great opportunity to learn about the city’s history. Very punctual start and finish. Ally was very friendly and answered our questions!

Spooky but fun tour

Amy was an amazing tour guild! She was so enthusiastic, knowledgeable and engaging! It was a scary but cool tour, and I would highly recommend booking this tour.

Fun

Published on Mar, 2025

Good fun and Amy was really informative. Really eerie place to visit. Would advise a tour definitely but only if you are stable on your feet.
