The Real Mary King's Close, Edinburgh

Great look at an old underground city of Edinburgh which is situated just the opposite of St. Giles Cathedral. It's shocking how narrow streets and tall the building were from the about 13th century. Definitely worth seeing. Thanks to the great guide Michaela, who gave an interesting talk and made dramatic show as well, so there was a place for some humour too.

Went away for a girlie weekend and thought we would do a few tours, our guide Emma from Edinburgh was great, she was knew her history and answered everyone's questions with ease, the street was incredible, to be able to see what the low houses looked like and the conditions the people lived in was amazing. Really enjoyed this tour, well stocked gift shop and coffee shop at the end of the tour.

We went on few tour while staying a week in Edinburgh and this one was defiantly one of the best ones! We had an amazing guide - Alyssia - who gave us historic facts while being being extremely entertaining. I did not realize how haunted the city was before going on the tour. 5 stars!

Just about worth seeing for the price, tour guide had great acting and was entertaining. Good level of restoration and preservation throughout albeit a bit commercialised in some aspects. Would give 5 stars but tickets are a little pricey at £19 each.

Unfortunately I cannot share photos of my tour as it is a rule of the venue that no photography was allowed. The tour however is a must see. My family an I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the history of the Close was amazing. I left feeling as if I had stepped back in time and to physically stand in an area of our Capital hidden from view deep beneath the City Chambers once inhabited by many long since deceased Edinburgh dwellers was surreal. A must see for all. The tour guides are very knowledgeable and make the experience all the more worthwhile. Highly recommended.
