The Real Mary King's Close is a sell-out attraction. We strongly recommend pre-booking online before you visit. For hundreds of years, the true story of Mary King's Close has remained untold – until now! A unique and historical 5-star visitor attraction, The Real Mary King’s Close is situated just off Edinburgh’s Royal Mile. Deep beneath the streets of the Scottish capital lies a warren of hidden closes and rooms that have remained frozen in time since the 17th century. Explore this unique site on a 1-hour guided tour led by a costumed expert guide, and experience what it was like for the people who lived, worked and died in Edinburgh’s Old Town.

Had an amazing tour with Isaac! We learnt a lot and had a good laugh! I recommend this tour to anyone, history lover or not!Full review by Chloe R
I think they restrict the number of people in each group to 15. Definitely book it before you go - we booked at on site after we arrived in Edinburgh & got the last two places for the next day.
Hoi! Is het mogelijk om een rollater te gebruiken. Ik kan 'm voor kleine trapjes op en af eventueel inklappen zodat we m kunnen optillen. Ik hoor het graag, alvast bedankt!

Het zou in theorie kunnen maar er zijn veel trappen en hellingen dus niet heel handig. Ik neem aan dat je slecht ter been bent en dan zou ik het niet aanraden.
So excited to come visit. We are visiting in October of this year. How far in advance should we purchase our tickets to make sure we can secure a spot on the tour?
A:
I booked about 3 days in advance with no issue! Enjoy, it's so worth it!
