We booked this on a whim... - We booked this on a whim and had a great experience. Initially seemed like a haunted house, but soon we realized that this was history bright to life. Recommended.

A fab activity for a rainy day - We visited the dungeons on a rainy afternoon and had a fantastic time. Didn't feel rushed, staff were all fantastic at their jobs and the ride at the end was a bonus too! Will definitely be back.

Fun times in the Dungeon! - Fun experience for the whole family. May not be suitable for very young children or those who get scared easily. Good value for the money.

Good rainy day activity - This was a great activity to do on a rainy afternoon in Edinburgh. All of the actors did a great job. It definitely aligned with the history of the city. At times it was a little difficult to hear the actors. However overall it was entertaining.

A bit naff - I hoped the dungeon would be more about history, and more factual rather than very OTT actors telling bits of historic stories. Was it even in an old dungeon? I hoped it would be more like Mary King's Close and so honestly, I was disappointed.
