Our history lies beneath the streets of Edinburgh, in the once-forgotten Mary King’s Close. Reopened after work on a modern exchange building discovered its sealed-off streets, the Close is now one of Edinburgh City’s top and most unique attractions. For years now, our costumed guides have led groups of intrepid travellers down steep steps and into the bowels of the city, opening their eyes to the silent world of 16th Century city life. But now we’re bringing the Real Mary King’s Close into the modern day, intertwining her fascinating history with a stroll through the modern streets of our current generation.
Modern Tours at Real Mary King's Close
Our newly created walking tours will take you along the bustling Royal
Mile, showing you the hidden entrances to other sealed-off closes just like
ours. We’ll delight you with tales of disorderly ale houses, where dastardly
plans were concocted in the dead of night, and spare you no details of gory
executions and brutal murders. We’ll talk you through how the times have
changed, and what might have happened to the Real Mary King’s Close if she hadn’t
been hidden away for an age.
Four times a day you can join one of these walking tours as an add-on to
our already popular underground tours. One of our costumed guides will show you
around Real Mary King’s Close first, following our normal route and
presentation, before bringing you up top and out into the light. It’s the
perfect combination and a great way to make your main tour last just a little
bit longer.
Since we don’t run very many walking tours, and all four are put on in
the afternoon, places will be limited and will book up fast. You can secure
your space in advance so you don’t miss this unique opportunity, and the added
tour gives you an extra hour for just £5 more. We have plenty of other special
events on too, including a unique murder mystery tour that will set your nerves
on edge, and great family ideas for the upcoming Easter Holidays. Have a look
at our website for more details or click here to book now.
