We both really enjoyed Jordan's tour of the vaults. He was engaging, funny and interesting. The hour flew by! I would highly recommend as an opportunity to check out an important part of Edinburgh you wouldn't normally see, guided by someone who really encourages you to picture Edinburgh as it was hundreds of years ago.

A really interesting and slightly terrifying tour. Something really different. We had Jordan as a guide and he was great.
