‘Fabulous’ The Real Mary King’s Close among world’s most reviewed experiences

We are officially one of the world’s most reviewed tourist attractions!

Our immersive glimpse into 17th-century Edinburgh has attracted more than 1,800 reviews in 2024, more than Disneyland Paris according to latest data from Tripadvisor.

It comes after we celebrated our best summer season ever, welcoming over 93,000 guests from around the globe between June and August. Guests booked from as far afield as Aruba, Trinidad and Tobago, and Tuvalu.

We were also named the UK’s Best Visitor Attraction by TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards this summer, part of a clean sweep of awards for Continuum Attractions.

Delighting our guests is one of our priorities, as it tells us we’re delivering an amazing experience and ensures that word of mouth is carrying The Real Mary King’s Close name across the world.

The sheer quantity of glowing reviews is a testament to the rich history we share and the passion our team has for creating a brilliant guest experience. Our success is a direct result of our passionate storytellers who bring Edinburgh’s hidden history to life. Since opening to the public in 2003, we have welcomed millions of guests, with the number expected to hit 3.9m by the end of 2024.
