Mary King's Gold Experience Ticket

New for 2011!

Royal Mile Walking Tour at The Real Mary King's Close

Complete your visit to Edinburgh with an Old Town Experience not to be missed.  The new Gold Experience ticket includes a tour deep underground of the historic Real Mary King’s Close, followed by an intriguing tour of the Closes ‘above ground’, both with a costumed character guide from Old Town days gone by.

You will be regaled with stories of murder and execution, not forgetting tales of raucous Coffee Houses and the lives of the poor and the wealthy.  Just what would Mary King’s Close have looked like if its fate hadn’t been sealed by the Royal Exchange?  All will be revealed…..

The Gold Experience ticket is available twice daily at 12.20pm (in Spanish) and at 1.40pm and lasts for 2 hours, including a short break between tours!
