Absolutely wonderful—Jared was a fantastic storyteller and totally made it worth being spooked in the vaults! Be prepared to feel chills…

Our guide, Linda was super warm, knowledgeable and wickedly funny! Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The only thing was, it was very windy so this affected the mic and our headsets a bit during the initial outside parts. Otherwise, a fantastic tour and wonderful guide!

Mark was an amazing tour guide. He really brought history to life and his interest and knowledge about the tour really made a difference. Great tour, loved the stories and with the headphones, none of us missed any of what he said. Highly recommend

The tour was highly enjoyable mainly because our guide, Linda, seemed to enjoy it with us. The historical events referred to were truculent, but at the same time funny, thanks to a lively and witty storytelling.

I attended a Doom Dead and Buried Tour last week with Mark and it was amazing! He told me so much about Edinburgh's history and as a group we all seemed to hang on his every word! We visited the Blair Street Underground Vaults which were really eerie then we went down to a Graveyard and learnt about body snatching! Definitely recommend a tour with Mercat Tours!

This was a very good and interesting tour. Wandering was our guide and he was very engaging and brought some humour into the tour. Highly recommend.

The Mercat Tour Dead Doomed & Buried is very fun! Don't worry about the content warnings - this tour featured more history than fearful stories. A great way to learn more about the history of Edinburgh. Guide Ross was excellent, keeping the stories engaging and sprinkling in some fun humour/ acting. My one note would be that the tour did feel long, with lots of walking stretches as compared to the story telling.

We did the underground vaults tour with Emma - she is a fantastic guide. We were only four people and had a good time. The tour was a mixture in between history and ghost tour. The vaults are indeed creepy. Would absolutely recommend! Thanks Emma.

Highly recommend this for a little something to do!! Especially if you are in to history and ghosts! Can't recommend Ross the tour guide Highly enough. He was so entertaining and enthusiastic, he really made the night!

louiisegx

What a brilliant night, we were lucky to get Ross as our tour guide - he was brilliant, funny and very knowledgeable with added dramatics that absolutely made the tour. I was with 5 friends and we had a great time. Ross let us use our Spirit Talkers etc and named our group #ghostbusters. I would definitely recommend the tour, we'll definitely be back to do more. Thanks again Ross, you made our night!
