Our tour guide, Linda was amazing! She involved the group in ways that made even this very antisocial person comfortable and included without feeling overwhelmed. Linda's knowledge and presentation of the history we walked in were outstanding and kept us all waiting for the next story! If we ever make it back, we will be using Mercat Tours again!

Mally, our guide knows what he's doing. Excellent guide with a sense of humour, full of historical knowledge and a bag full of secrets just for his listeners. I'm so glad I booked it. I recommend it 👌 👍 😄

As we were a small group Craig took us to some of the less visited secrets of the Royal Mile. A very interesting tour with a guide that was very knowledgeable about Scottish history in general. Highly recommended.

    Linda was so knowledgeable and entertaining. She showed us so many extra parts and made it fun. Don't think she could have done anymore. Would highly recommend this tour. Ask for Linda too

  • Unearth the true terrors of Edinburgh’s past on a chilling underground tour led by expert storytellers through the city’s most haunted vaults.

    Getting started

    Meet your tour guide near the Royal Mile. After your ticket check and audio device handout, you’ll set off on foot through Edinburgh’s winding closes and cobbled lanes.

    What to expect

    Trace centuries of real stories along the cobbled Royal Mile — from monarchs and poets to revolutionaries and residents who never left the city walls. Along the way, your storyteller will share true tales of Edinburgh’s past in the very spots where they unfolded.

    Features:

    • Old Town walking tour: Explore Edinburgh’s historic closes, wynds, and courtyards with a master storyteller leading the way.

    • Royal Mile insights: Learn about figures like Mary Queen of Scots and Robert Burns, and the ordinary people who shaped city life through the centuries.

    • Audio devices included: Stay connected to every story and whisper, even in the darkest corners of the vaults.

    • Edinburgh Castle visit: Choose the extended tour to skip the ticket line and enjoy a 45-minute guided introduction before exploring the Castle on your own.

    • Extended walking tour: Select the longer version of the tour to deepen your experience of Edinburgh’s Old Town with even more stories and sites.

    This tour offers a deep and engaging look at the city's living history, perfect for first-time visitors and curious returners alike. This isn’t about jump scares, it’s about real stories in real places, making it one of Edinburgh’s most spine-tingling experiences.
