    Absolutely loved this! Guide was great and very patient in answering lots of questions. Kids really enjoyed it and the narrative was carefully considered for our younger family members. Thanks Caelyn, we had a great time!

    Fantastic tour. Staff made everything simple. Love the audio provided - never missed a word. If you haven’t gone down in the vaults, it’s an amazing experience. Nikola was outstanding.

    We organised a ghost tour for my son’s 11th birthday. The communication I had with Mercat prior to the gathering was excellent. Our guide was exceptionally good with the group of boys we had and paced it and aimed it perfectly for their age group. She was really good at keeping the boys interested and got some history in too! Just the right level of scary for the boys. Would highly recommend.

    Having lived in Edinburgh for 12 years I am embarrassed to admit I never investigated the history of the city, until my son was focusing on old Edinburgh as a project. This lead me to book this tour for my son and I. Our guide Anastasia was AMAZING, actually she made the experience! She took the time to prepare us for any unsettling information (for my benefit as my son loves the gorey details!!) Her tone of voice, the energy she put in and the knowledge she has resulted in a very enjoyable and interesting day. So much so that I am eagerly booking the historical tour (I hope it will be Anastasia who leads this too!) A definite must do for anyone visiting Edinburgh or like me just wanting to learn more about this amazing city we live in and it's....shall we say gruesome history.
