Description

Experience the legendary Blair Street Underground Vaults on this small-group walking tour in Edinburgh, Scotland. Venture beneath the historic Old Town and explore the city’s oldest and deepest 18th-century underground caverns, accessible exclusively through this guided experience.

As you descend beneath South Bridge, your senses come alive in a world untouched since Georgian times. Hear captivating tales from award-winning storytellers as you walk through the atmospheric and perfectly preserved vaults, once home to Edinburgh’s most destitute residents.

The immersive journey reveals why the vaults were constructed, who sought refuge in these shadowy chambers, and how this hidden world shaped the city’s dramatic past. Your expert guide brings to life stories of engineering marvels, city expansion, and the people who lived in Edinburgh’s darkest corners.

After exploring the vaults, your experience continues in the Vaults Museum. Here, authentic artifacts and interactive displays offer deeper insight into the daily lives and secrets of Edinburgh’s subterranean inhabitants, making your visit both informative and unforgettable.

This historic vaults tour starts at the Blair Street meeting point, runs for approximately 75 minutes, and includes guided access to both the underground chambers and museum. Secure your spot on this unique Edinburgh adventure—spaces are limited, so check availability and book now!
