Excellent tour! - This was an excellent tour! It was very informative and we really enjoyed the experience. Thank you for teaching us a bit of Scottish history.

Amazing experience - The tour was amazing. We got to know the history of Edinburgh and how were the vaults a big part of Edinburgh’s history. Nicola is a fun guide and good with the history. Highly recommended

Mercat tour of Edinburgh's Historic Underground - I recently experienced a Mercat tour of Edinburgh's Historic Underground, and it was exceptional. Special shout out to our guide, Linda, who made the tour unforgettable with her deep knowledge and engaging storytelling. Her passion for Edinburgh's history truly brought the underground to life. Highly recommended!

You don’t know Edinburgh until you join the tour. - You wouldn’t be able to get that feeling on your skin by reading a pamphlet. Thank you Nicola, for the informative and interesting tour!

Our guide was excellent, and we all learned a lot. - Seniors should be aware that the terrain is quite rough and, in places, there might not be enough light for “old” eyes.

Fascinating Glimpse into Edinburgh’s Underground - On a rainy Wednesday afternoon in Edinburgh, it was actually welcome to go underground for a while where it was nice and dry. Our tour guide Mark had an encyclopedic knowledge of the subject matter and provided a detailed and memorable overview of the colorful characters and events that took place in The South Bridge Vaults. The ground is uneven down there, so be careful while you’re walking. There honestly isn’t a great deal of visual interest within the vaults, so the success of the tour depends on the guide being able to paint a vivid verbal portrait of all the people and happenings that took place down there, and this Mark achieved tremendously well. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants a different view of Edinburgh, both literally and figuratively.

Engaging, funny and informative! - Linda was the perfect guide bringing the history of Edinburgh to life, particularly life in the vaults. I’m glad we don’t have nasty buckets anymore! Well worth the price and it got us out of the rain for an hour!

Underground vaults, amazing - It was a very interesting tour. Our guide Linda made us all feel very welcome and interacted with us all. The vaults were amazing. Would definitely recommend it.

Vault tour - The underground vaults were interesting and worth seeing! Our guide, Aniela was knowledgeable and provided a lot of tidbits about the closes, the tenements and the people that lived there.

Book a tour here - Our fids, Stefanie, gave a fun talk about life in the 'vaults' of Southbridge. It is almost unbelievable that people lived in the vaults. Mercat tours is one of the few organizations that is allowed to give tours of the 'vaults'. I would say.....book with Mercat tours for a guided tour for a nice introduction to Edinburgh.
