The Scoth Whisky Experience was our first stop of the day and it was incredible! The tour was fun and informative, our guide Victoria was a delight, and the final stop (not gonna spoil it in a review) was a CAN NOT MISS! 100% recommend! I will say the meeting location listed in the app was incorrect and you meet inside the building not out front. The Edinburgh Dungeon was a wild time! I went to this attraction 20 years ago and it has completely changed from what it was back in the day and because I didn't look into it and expected it to just be the same two decades later, I inadvertently took my best friend to a scare experience (and she is not a fan of scare experiences) but thankfully she did enjoy herself (which is why I am able to write this today!) And I had a blast! The scare actors were incredibly talented and the scares were absolutely earned! And we both appreciated that there was no touching. That's always a point of contention here in the states with grabbing. 100% worth doing if you like history and scares!

One of the bucket items my wife wanted to do years ago. All was just right apart from the cold winds. Staff and fellow guests were great and the staff on the bus's were so helpfull espeacilly Murray. We would recommend the visit to the Britannia resturant to anyone, the queue said it all. All the greet and meet staff through out the experience were first class.

I loved this .. the highlight of my trip to Edinburgh. The staff were amazing and played their characters superbly. Informative, interactive and lots of fun. I giggled from start to finish. I went with my very introverted daughter, who usually wouldnt entertain that sort of thing, but she played along and enjoyed the experience too.

Wonderful staff and actors. Scared and laughed at the same time. It was the subtle and unexpected bits that were excellent as well as the comedy and downright frightening parts that kept us on our toes. Wonderful.

It was fun and light hearted however it is not what I originally thought, its not the castle dungeons! Not the right event choice for history buffs. The players and crew are terrific!

This was such an easy way to book attractions on-line,the only issue for me as an older person & not very tech savvi ,one ticket came through quite awhile before the other,making me a bit nervous whether it was a ligit company or would I only get one ticket & not the other.All unfounded though as both tickets came through before the end of the day!
