We enjoyed learning the history of the vaults and how they came to be, as well as their evolution. Diva did a good job relating the tale.

I really appreciated his help and efforts to answer all of our questions thoroughly. Edinburgh has such a rich, dark history and this was a perfect way to get so many bits of it wrapped into a brief time. Perfect for the whole family. Would highly recommend :-)76mre
