Great 4.0
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

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.

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.

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.
