Mercat Tours - Edinburgh underground vaults tour
This year, Mercat Tours celebrate 40 years of sharing Edinburgh’s extraordinary stories – from the iconic sites of the Old Town to the hidden depths of the Blair Street Underground Vaults.
In a year-long celebration they aim to “pay tribute to the people, partnerships, memories and milestones that have shaped our journey, ready to step into an exciting future.”
The team at Mercat Tours are led by the desire to look after people, building community before profit. “Tourism is the most inclusive and inspiring sector to develop a career in. It holds the power to create diverse, dynamic teams that attract passionate people to work and equally supports communities to thrive.”
Tourism is their passion so they’ve developed a tour for all tastes. “From bespoke private tours, to a full two-hour evening experience, daytime or evening, weekday or weekend – we definitely have something for everyone.”
And they want the experience to be personal. They limit their group sizes to a maximum of18 people, so customers can always comfortably hear and see their storyteller, and always feel included. “It’s one of the reasons we're consistently rated 5-stars – and why we’ve won so many awards.”
