Fantastic storytelling

Published on Mar, 2025

We had a blast with our tourguide Michael. He is a brilliant and captivating storyteller. Certainly one of the greatest highlights of my weekend trip to Edinburgh with my sister.

Very interesting tour and host

Published on Mar, 2025

Very interesting and informative tour for those who enjoy something a little weird and wonderful, or creepy and ghostly. There are no people jumping out at you, like you might find at some attractions, it's a guide who walks and talks you through the evening and is very interactive. Our guide was Michael and he really made the tour complete. I feel like the tour wouldn't have been anywhere near as great if Michael wasn't part of it. I'm sure other guides are great too, but I would only want to come back and do another tour if it's with Michael as he really made the history come alive.

Gold Standard for Guided Tours

Published on Mar, 2025

I've become a huge fan of Mercat Tours! In the past six months, I've been on two ghost tours, and both guides, Shannon and Michael, were incredibly entertaining and engaging. The tours strike the perfect balance between Edinburgh’s rich history, eerie hauntings, and witty storytelling. Mercat Tours truly set the gold standard for guided experiences! I cannot recommend this enough.
