For four decades, Mercat Tours has crafted history into vivid storytelling, making deeply human connections between our past and people. From humble beginnings as a local, independent, family-owned business to becoming a leader in Scottish tourism, Mercat has captivated visitors far and wide with tales that engage, enthral and entertain.

This year, we 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. 

Join us as we pay tribute to the people, partnerships, memories and milestones that have shaped our journey, ready to step into an exciting future.
