Guided tours of the South Bridge vaults, by day and by night, starting from the Lawnmarket on the Royal Mile.

## Who they are

Auld Reekie Tours runs guided tours of Edinburgh's old town centred on the South Bridge vaults, the chambers left between the bridge's arches that ended up as workshops, unlicensed taverns and homes for the poorest. Their office is on Niddry Street, where the tours finish.

## What tours they run

The Vaults Tour, by day: an hour in the vaults, every half hour from 10:00 to 16:30. It costs £24 per person, or £80 for four, and admits children from age 5. Inside they show a room used by a modern witchcraft group, with its stone circle.

Haunted Vaults Tour, at dusk: an hour at 17:00 or 19:00, also £24, from age 12.

The Vaults & Graveyard Tour: an hour and a half combining a 16th-century graveyard with the vaults, for £26, from age 12.

The Terror Tour: an exhibition of 16th and 17th-century torture instruments, at 21:00 and 22:00, over-18s only.
