Good experience but quite commercial. The group as rather large and sometimes we didn’t all fit in areas. Because of the many people and other tours behind it felt a bit of a rush and I couldn’t see everything properly. It was quite dark and some details could just be seen when the guide used his flashlight... once he walked... More

The tour helps you see back into Edinburgh's past and is very informative. If you are looking for scary or creepy I would not say this falls in to those categories and would recommend a ghost tour that takes you in to the vaults. If you are chlostrophobic it may have affect but that would be it. I think the... More

Our tour guide, Robert, was lots of fun and knew a lot about the history behind the things we were viewing. I've been on many ghost tours etc and found that this one (happily) was not all about the supernatural and trying to commune with the haunted spirits. We enjoyed it and I would recommend it to families, as the... More

If you are in Edinburgh and tired of the museums, gardens and distinguished looking buildings & monuments, I strongly suggest you take a tour of the Mary King's close, preferably on a lazy edinburgh afternoon. I took a tour by the same name and it takes you all the way into the undercity of modern day edinburgh. Replete with stories,... More

For those who don't know, the Real Mary King's Close is an underground tour of the basements of various buildings. The basements are much older than the buildings on top and used to be rooms in 16th and 17th century houses. The rooms belonged to houses that were built on a narrow alley called a "close". We paid 12 pounds... More

I have been to this attraction a few times in the past, but on my recent visit I was quite disappointed. The basic idea to the tour is that you are taken underground by a guide who explains the history behind these old closes and how they were part of Edinburgh hundreds of years ago. Visitors are taken round by... More

Expected a little bit more from this trip to the underground, the guide Marc was quite fun though and talked about the history of the close in an interesting and funny way. More

what should have been an interesting tour proved to be a boring, uninspiring walk around a number of vacant basement rooms. The tour lacks invention and proper investment to make it a memorable guided tour. The guide himself lacked the personality or desire to bring the subject alive and seemed to treat his unfortunate tour victims with disinterest and just... More

A must see attraction if you're in Edinburgh. Our guide made our visit enjoyable, fun and brought it to life. Hard to believe people lived like this way back when but was great to experience it for a short while. Have and will continue to recommend this to everyone who mentions Scotland or Edinburgh. More
