Relatively small area but bonus points for the opportunity to be up close in the actual rooms/walls that’ve been around since the 17C
Our tour guide was Ash and she was so expressive and such a great storyteller! We loved how she explained each room and the history behind them. Best to experience it yourself, it can be quite stuffy even in November, so be prepared. no photos were allowed.
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour experience! It was so immersive as our tour guide was dressed and acted as a character who lived in the close. Our tour guide Ash did an amazing job immersing us in the experience. Was an interesting and fun history tour, would recommend! No pictures / videography allowed during the tour.
The alley itself doesn’t have much to see, but it’s worth visiting to experience how the lower-class people once lived in such cramped spaces. The guide’s explanations are vivid, and photography is not allowed throughout the tour.
The site is preserved from yesterday times and the guide gives a really good description and dramatic performance if the history of the place. a must visit if you make it all the way to Scotland
amazing experience! 100% recommended of you’re ever in edinburgh. it was very fun, immersive and informative.
very interesting tour about Edinburg. very knowledgeable guide
The tour is very detailed. After arriving at the destination, you can download the app and provide introductions in multiple languages. The overall tour goes through Mary King's Street through the lives of the people at that time and some brief history of Edinburgh
