PARANORMAL ENCOUNTERS ON THE CLOSE HARD TO TOP – THE NEW HERITAGE DAYS OUT TOP TRUMPS THE GREAT FIRE OF EDINBURGH READ THE MARY KING'S BLOG HERE "A brilliant tour, about an hour in length so not too long but very punchy that you leave with a ton of new information/knowledge. They've nailed all think social distancing too, so you feel safe at all times without it taking anything away from the tour!" mattfromchorley, TripAdvisor, September 2020 "Educational and entertaining. A really informative and interesting tour around an old close in Edinburgh. Our guide explained what life was like around the close, how people lived and worked through the plague, and gave us many other insights into ‘old Edinburgh’. Many thanks to Andrew for giving us a great experience! Covid-19 procedures were followed throughout the visit and were very well managed and explained to the group - well done."

"Great tour guide! Our guide was very enthusiastic and informative. Really interesting to see the streets below. Very COVID conscious. All in all a good attraction to a wonderful city." Angeee2013, TripAdvisor, September 2020 "Our guide made the day, she was full of humour and kept the tour lively and interesting! The different characters we saw and some actually spoke when I thought they were just pictures, Annie's room, the picture part, were all wonderful experiences. Very well organised and observing all Covid-19 strict measures." mariana1158, TripAdvisor,September 2020
